Whole Wheat Pancakes

The combination of almond milk, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract had me sold on these beauties. I must say, I learned something new with this recipe. Adding a teaspoon or two of lemon juice or ACV to the plant-based milk makes vegan buttermilk pancakes.

Oil-Free Pancakes

Plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt is all you need to get started with these oil-free pancakes. For anyone worried the pancakes will taste awkward because of the ACV, fear not because they’re delightful.

Oatmeal-based pancakes should be on every breakfast menu. Using almond extract rather than vanilla was a wise move. The mango and coconut add a beautiful tropical flavor to these sweet pancakes. You won’t need any syrup, because these babies are sweet enough.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I’ve always loved sweet pancakes; they are perfect for breakfast but also work as a snack. Instead of maple syrup, I like to use melted peanut butter on these chocolatey pancakes. Top that off with a few slices of banana, and you’re good to go.

Wow! These dark, rich, fudgey pancakes are incredible. Your little ones might think they’re having dessert for breakfast, but these beauties are incredibly healthy.

Oreo Pancakes

These fluffy, decadent pancakes are a home run for me. That coconut vanilla filling is incredible, so whip out your food processor to get started. You can use dark or regular cocoa powder, but the dark variety seems to add the right color to match an Oreo cookie. Minimalist Baker really knows how to do breakfast (or dessert) right!

Peanut Butter Pancakes

You’ll notice the ingredient list is unlike many, yet yields delicious fluffy hot cakes. Adding the potato starch with the super fine oat flour was an excellent choice. I am a massive fan of peanut butter. Needless to say, when I found this recipe for peanut butter pancakes filled with dairy-free chocolate trips, I had to try it. Did I mention that these are gluten-free, too?

The homemade vegan buttermilk in this recipe is the key to the pancake fluffiness! With vanilla, apple pie seasoning, and fresh apples, these pancakes are full of flavor and have the perfect combination of textures!

PB&J Pancakes

Peanut butter and raspberry chia jam pancakes will make your mouth water, not to mention – they’re beautiful! Because these pancakes are filled with jelly, we have to keep them thin and cook them on a low setting for more time, but it’s worth it.

Latkes or Potato Pancakes

Traditional Jewish food isn’t vegan, so I appreciate that the author Megan put a vegan twist on latkes. These potato pancakes are dairy and egg-free and easy to make. I agree; keeping the skins on the potatoes adds more flavor and cuts prep time down. Not to mention the amount of nutrition they bring to the table.

Sweet Potato Pancakes
