Vegan Buttermilk Pancakes with Almond Butter Maple Syrup

Vegan Buttermilk Pancakes with Almond Butter Maple Syrup are to-die-for and simple to make. holiday Brunch Plan included! Have as a special treat on the weekends or serve at your holiday brunch.

When pancakes get put on the table there is a special feeling in the air. It's usually the weekend when no one is being rushed out the door and there is time for comradery around the table.

Whether it be silly giggles or conversations about daily events the pancakes are disappearing.

Buttermilk pancakes are also famous for being the best kind of pancake. There's no need to forgo that treat because they can be duplicated in the vegan lifestyle.

Even when I wasn't vegan I knew about putting vinegar into milk to make buttermilk. It was the perfect option when you didn't have buttermilk on hand.

It works here too. Apple cider vinegar added to dairy-free milk does the trick. Another change made for these Vegan Buttermilk Pancakes was to leave out the banana.

Chia seed eggs were used instead for a clean and original style pancake. Now you have a massive amount of nutrients for very little calories.

Do you like brunches? Me too! They are a little later in the morning so you are much more awake to enjoy the feast. That isn't the main reason they're so good though.

Food choices are more abundant than your everyday meal and the choices also offer plates that are a little more special than smoothies and granola.

Don't get me wrong. Granola and a pitcher of dairy-free milk as one of the offerings would be perfect too.

You could also have mason jars filled with individual servings for smoothies and people could whip up their smoothie right then and there.

When you make your choices of what to serve at your brunch you have to realize that everyone isn't going to have each thing on the table. They may not like something and so there should be another option for them.

Carbs, protein and, fruit should be offered. That makes for nice healthy choices.

It takes a little planning to get a brunch together and below is a simple guide, with food suggestions, to help you plan a buffet of your own.

All the better is that most of it is prepared ahead of time. Days and even weeks ahead!

Now for a few essentials to add to the table? Along with Vegan Buttermilk Pancakes and all of the other wonderful choices above put a few more things on the table.

Coffee creamer, coffee sweetener, dairy-free butter, plates, silverware, and napkins. Now is the time for a fun-filled brunch.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons coconut sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon sea salt

Egg Substitute

• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 6 tablespoons water

Wet Ingredients

• 2 ¼ cups dairy-free almondmilk
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

For frying the Pancakes

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Almond Butter Maple Syrup

• 1 cup maple syrup
• ¼ cup almond butter

Instructions

 

• In a blender, add maple syrup and the almond butter.  Blend for a minute until completely smooth.
• Set aside and do NOT refrigerate.
• Make the egg substitutes, place the chia seeds in a small bowl, add water and mix.
• Set aside to gel, about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Mix well.
• In another medium sized bowl pour in the almondmilk and add the cider vinegar.  Stir.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.
• Pour in the almond milk mixture, vanilla and egg substitutes.
• Stir the wet mixture into the dry mix until just incorporated.
• Don’t over mix. It will be a bit lumpy.
• Add oil to the pan and heat to medium heat.  Fry on a griddle or a wide flat pan. I use a flat stainless pan.
• Pour ¼ cup batter right in the center of the pan.  You should hear a mild sizzle.  Cook until you see lots of little bubbles pop up all over the pancake.  They should be pretty dry bubbles too. 
• Slide your spatula under the pancake and lift up from the pan.  Sprinkle a few more drops of oil on the pan so when you flip your pancake there is some fresh hot oil.
• Flip and brown on the other side. This won't take long at all.
• Set on a baking sheet and after you have about 5 done place the baking sheet in the oven that has been set as low as possible.  Not over 200 degrees.  This will keep your pancakes hot for serving.

You can actually freeze pancakes and they come back perfectly.

Whether they've been frozen or not these pancakes are also delicious when you roll it up (as is) zap it in the microwave for 15 seconds and eat as a snack.

You know the Vanilla Almond Biscotti and Crystallized Ginger Orange Juice Cocktail that I mentioned in the menu above? Here are a couple of pics of them for you.

And a very sweet cocktail but so nice at a brunch.
