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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
