Because vegans forgo dairy milk and eggs, regular pancake recipes just don’t fly. But cooking without them is a breeze, and this pancake recipe is proof positive! Full of flavor, and light and fluffy, these whip up in 3 minutes, so you really can have pancakes whenever the fancy strikes! Because a typical breakfast of pancakes, fruit and syrup doesn’t really provide you with anything other than simple carbohydrates and little fiber, this breakfast is not really going to “stick to your ribs”. I like to add a small amount of garbanzo bean flour to my pancakes to jack up the protein content, and add a subtle depth of flavor that plain flour just doesn’t provide.
Make a double batch of these, cool, wrap in parchment or wax paper and freeze for pancakes on the fly. Simply throw the frozen pancakes in the toaster, and wham! pancakes on a Wednesday morning? No Problem!
As always, serve this with 100% maple syrup, never that horrible ‘pancake syrup’ which is just corn syrup and flavorings. Ick! Add some fresh fruit (or make them blueberry pancakes!), or go fancy and add my Strawberry Rhubarb Compote for a sweet, tart kick. (more…)

This weeks meals were a bit odd, pieced together from random bouts of inspiration, with nothing tying them together other than their going into my mouth, and me enjoying them.
My ‘weekend in the kitchen’ was pushed back a few days to mid-week, as I was eagerly looking forward to spending time with some very good friends of mine who were in town visiting. While I would have loved to cook for them, schedules didn’t allow it, so I planned to hit the kitchen early. Their departure on Sunday left me some time to recuperate from too many (not enough?) late nights out in a row, and to kick back with a painting project (you’ll see! I’m so excited to show you!), some good tunes, a Netflix DVD, my laptop, and of course, messing up my kitchen.
As I posted earlier, I’m all about savory for breakfast. This week was no exception, and I find myself getting more wacky with my choices each week. It’s been months since I’ve had anything remotely sweet in the morning, and I wake up craving not fruit or oatmeal, but stir frys, hearty soups, and stews. Who knew?! (more…)
