Ingredients
Flax Egg
- 3 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp ground flax
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup soy milk
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour or sub whole wheat flour*
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamom
- 1 tsp ginger
- ½ tsp allspice
- ¼ tsp ground cloves optional, omit for sensitive eaters
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the flax egg. Stir the water and ground flax well to combine and let sit. It should thicken slightly as it stands.
- To a large bowl, add the soy milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit while you prepare the dry ingredients.
- To a medium bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
- Now to the bowl with the soy milk, mix in the remaining wet ingredients. Now stir in the flax egg. Once well incorporated, gently stir in the dry ingredients, careful not to overmix. The batter will thicken slightly as it stands.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the pan per pancake. Once the sides are firmed up and the top is bubbly, flip to cook the other side. Approximately another 2 minutes.
Notes
*Looking for a healthier pancake? You can swap the all purpose flour for whole wheat. If the batter is a bit dry, simply add a tbsp of milk at a time.
A note on flavour These pancakes deliver a bold gingerbread flavour. If you have picky or sensitive eaters, you may wish to reduce or omit the cloves, but they do add a wonderful depth to these pancakes.
