Pancakes are often eaten in February on Pancake day, but we are big believers that pancakes should be on the menu at least once a week. If not once a day 😉

So we've gathered together this diverse collection of the best vegan pancake recipes, so you'll never get bored! We hope you have fun trying something new.

Before we get cooking, here's a few quick pancake FAQs to help you become a vegan pancake making pro:

Your Pancake Questions Answered!

Why do we eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday?

In the UK, (where I am from) pancakes are traditionally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, as a way of using up ingredients such as milk and eggs before fasting for Lent.

In other countries, this day is known as Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday and in Paul's homeland of Austria it's traditional to eat these jam doughnuts and not pancakes. We sometimes have both!

How to make vegan pancakes?

Traditionally, pancakes are made with milk, eggs and sometimes butter, but it's actually really easy to make vegan pancakes. Our recommendation is to follow a tried and tested vegan recipe, rather than substituting ingredients yourself as you'll get more reliable results.

You'll find most recipes typically use plain or all purpose flour and non-dairy milk, such as soy milk or almond milk. For the fluffiest vegan pancakes, a raising agent such as baking powder or baking soda in combination with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar is typically used.

To bring moisture and flavour to vegan pancakes without using eggs, ingredients such as applesauce, banana, aquafaba or flax eggs are also often used.

You can make any kind of vegan pancakes that you want, from flat vegan crepes, to American-style fluffy pancakes.

Why do pancakes stick?

If you are having trouble with your pancakes sticking to the pan, the most common issue is that the griddle or pan you are using has not been adequately preheated or greased. To grease your pan you can use a little bit of melted vegan butter, coconut oil, or vegetable oil.

Always be patient to heat up the surface before cooking and ideally use a dedicated nonstick pancake pan, a large nonstick skillet or a very well seasoned cast iron griddle for best results.
