Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup apple oil butter (or any oil i use walnut)
  • 2 cups vegan soymilk (reg., chocolate or vanilla i’ve used them all)
  • 1/8 cup vegan maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Directions:

Throw everything in a mixing bowl and mix, mix, mix. I
usually have to put in more soy milk than stated to thin out
the mixture. Can use water too if you want, doesn’t affect
taste at all. Then heat a frying pan with oil, pour in
mixture (amount depends on size of pancakes you want). Cook
until side facing up in covered with bubbles, flip and cook
other side. Eat.

I usually make a half recipe which gives me about 10-15
smallish pancakes.

Serves: Lots

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 2 cup water
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats (I use McCann’s Irish Oatmeal)
  • 1 medium apple, grated
  • 3 tablespoon vegan dried sweetened cranberries
  • 3 tablespoon cinnamon-covered raisins (or plain, if you can’t find them)
  • 1/4 cup brown rice syrup
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Reduce heat;
stir in all remaining ingredients except for the brown rice
syrup and cinnamon. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often to
prevent scorching. Remove from heat and stir in the syrup
and cinnamon; serve and enjoy!

Note: If you like your fruit a little more chewy, wait to
add the cranberries and raisins in the last two minutes of
cooking.

Serves: 3
