Yummmm!!!

How can I ever forget Vegan Chia Seed Pancakes? These are some of the most scrumptious vegan breakfast items and can also be eaten for dessert. First off, what even is a Chia Seed? Chia seeds are the edible seeds of Salvia Hispanic, a flowering plant in the mint family native to central and southern Mexico, or of the related Salvia columbariae of the southwestern United States and Mexico. But how are Chia Seeds good for you? Chia seeds contain large amounts of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, plenty of high-quality protein, and several essential minerals and antioxidants. They may improve digestive health, blood levels of heart-healthy omega-3s, and risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

Those are what will be in these delicious pancakes!

For this recipe, you will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, sea salt, chia seeds, maple syrup, almond milk, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. The cinnamon and the pure vanilla extract are completely optional, they just add extra flavor to the wonderful pancake.

The ingredients you will need to make this:

  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
  • Three tablespoons of chia seeds
  • Three tablespoons of maple syrup (or another sweetener of choice, use stevia for sugar-free pancakes)
  • 1 1/2 cup of almond milk
  • One teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
  • One teaspoon of cinnamon
  • One teaspoon of pure vanilla extract

What even are Chia Seed pancakes? Chia seed pancakes are easy to make, light and fluffy, and one of the most-loved recipes from the blog. Try them topped with banana, berries, and pure maple syrup for a delicious vegan breakfast. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the almond milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and ACV and stir.

To construct these wonderful pancakes, you have to first mix all the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Second, you will need to add almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and ACV. Once you do this you will mix all of the ingredients. After this, you will have to let it sit for five to ten minutes. Cook in approximately 1/4 cup scoops over medium heat in a lightly oiled non-stick pan. Flip when bubbles appear in the middle of each pancake, and edges appear dry and cooked. Cook for another three to four minutes on the other side. Wow! We are finished with this extraordinary dish. I hope you enjoy it!

So Yummy!

Directions on how to cook:

Step One: Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Step Two: Add the almond milk, vanilla, maple syrup, and ACV and stir until “just mixed.”

Step Three: Let sit for 5-10 minutes so the chia can work its magic.

Step Four: Cook in approximately 1/4 cup scoops over medium heat in a lightly oiled non-stick pan.

Step Five: Flip when bubbles appear in the middle of each pancake and edges appear dry and cooked.

Step Six: Cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side.

But this is not a dessert? A pancake (or hotcake) is a flat cake, often thin and round, prepared from a starch-based batter that may contain eggs, milk, and butter. Normally cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan, often frying with oil or butter. Archaeological evidence suggests that pancakes were probably the earliest and most widespread cereal food eaten in prehistoric societies.

Delicious!

Ingredients to make a nonvegan pancake (to show the difference between the two):

  • One cup of all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • Two tablespoons of sugar
  • Two teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • One cup of milk
  • Two tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil
  • One large egg
  • One tablespoon of vegetable oil

~ Assorted toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, confectioners' sugar, honey, jams, preserves, sweetened whipped cream, or chocolate syrup. ~

Directions on how to cook the pancakes:

Step one: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees; have a baking sheet or heatproof platter ready to keep cooked pancakes warm in the oven. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Step two: In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, butter (or oil), and egg. Add dry ingredients to milk mixture; whisk until just moistened (do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine).

Step three: Heat a large skillet (nonstick or cast-iron) or griddle over medium. Fold a sheet of paper towel in half, and moisten with oil; carefully rub the skillet with an oiled paper towel.

Step four: For each pancake, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet, using the back of the spoon to spread batter into a round (you should be able to fit two to three in a large skillet).

Step five: Cook until the surface of pancakes have some bubbles and a few have burst, one to two minutes. Flip carefully with a thin spatula, and cook until browned on the underside, one to two minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in the oven. Continue with more oil and remaining batter. (You'll have 12 to 15 pancakes.) Serve warm, with desired toppings.

(Different) Pancake Variations

Step six : Buttermilk ~ In step one, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the dry mixture. In step two, replace the milk with low-fat buttermilk.

Step seven: Yogurt ~ In step one, add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to the dry mixture. In step two, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

Step Eight: Whole grain with yogurt ~ step one, replace the all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup each cornmeal and wheat germ, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. In step two, replace the milk with 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt and 1/3 cup milk.

Yum!

You may be asking yourself what the difference is. The difference is that vegan pancakes are high in fiber and for the most part, are way better for you than regular pancakes. They are also less time-consuming than the regular mixture. So next time you make pancakes consider this recipe!

How healthy!
