What’s better for breakfast than warm fluffy pancakes with fresh fruits? Not much, anyway. In America pancakes are a breakfast staple dish. These vegan pancakes with jam and wild berries are thrown together in no time and only require a few ingredients.
Grated Apple as Binding Agent for Vegan Pancakes
As a binding agend, I use a grated apple. I got the idea from ​​a recipe I found online which listed applesauce as ingredient. But I did not have that at home. However, I had a few old apples that were already wrinkled. So I quickly peeled them and grated them to a fine puree.
To make the pancakes so nice and fluffy, I used a combination of apple vinegar and baking soda. That worked great. The pancakes held together perfectly and were very fluffy.
After I baked them in a pan, I spread them with raspberry jam and stacked them on top of each other. At last I garnished them with fresh wild berries. Simple yet delicious!
With such a great recipe at hand, the decision between breakfast rolls and pancakes is incredibly hard every time.
Of course, these vegan pancakes are not exactly a symbol of healthy whole foods. After all they are made primarily from white flour. But on the weekend you can allow yourself to these fluffy treats.
If you want to stay true to your healthy diet, try to make these vegan pancakes healthier by using spelled flour or whole wheat flour instead of regular wheat flour. You can also replace the sugar with agave syrup or maple syrup.
Maple syrup is actually the classic topping on American pancakes. But the traditional variant is a bit too sweet for me. That’s why I only used little sugar in the pancake batter and spread the pancakes with sweet raspberry jam instead. In addition the freshwild berries give this dish a fruity and sour note. The wild berries harmonize perfectly with the fluffy pancakes.
Possible variations of the vegan pancakes
If you want to vary the vegan pancakes, try to add apple slices or blueberries to the batter. Put the Batter in the pan and add the fruit while the batter is still liquid. Then I sprinkle some sugar or cinnamon over the fruit. Then let the sugar caramelise after turning the pancakes.
