Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter (plant-based), melted
  • 2 tablespoons natural maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (natural)

Strawberry Maple Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup natural maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/4 cup grape juice
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Accompaniments (Optional)

  • Smoked turkey bacon
  • Smoked turkey slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, melted plant-based butter (plant-based), natural maple syrup (natural), and natural vanilla extract (natural). Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with plant-based butter (plant-based). Pour a small ladle of batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and fluffy.
  3. Make the Strawberry Maple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine fresh chopped strawberries with natural maple syrup (natural) and grape juice. Simmer gently until the strawberries soften. Stir in a natural gelling agent to thicken the syrup slightly, then let it cool to room temperature for the perfect pourable texture.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Stack your pancakes high and generously drizzle the strawberry maple syrup (natural) on top. Add a side of crispy smoked turkey bacon or smoked turkey slices for a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors.

Notes

  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dense pancakes.
  • Use fresh plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just until ingredients combine to keep it airy.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat to ensure even browning without burning.
  • Prepare the strawberry maple syrup ahead of time to let flavors deepen.
