Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for a couple of minutes to form a gel-like consistency.
- Add the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the flaxseed mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet if needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, or maple syrup.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious vegan whole grain pancakes!
