Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cane sugar
- 1/4 cup apple sauce
- 2 1/2 cups almond milk (or any plant milk of your choice!)
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 3 tbsp poppy seeds
- 4 tbsp melted vegan butter
For serving
- 100% pure maple syrup
- more vegan butter
Preparation
In a large bowl, add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and poppy seeds and whisk to combine
In a medium bowl, add the almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, melted vegan butter, and apple sauce, and whisk to combine
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not over mix! It's ok if your batter looks a bit lumpy
Add the vegan butter to a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Once the vegan butter has melted, reduce the heat to low and add 1/3 cup or 1/2 cup of batter to the pan, depending on how big or small you want them
Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter
Serve the pancakes with vegan butter and maple syrup
