Ingredients
For the Blueberry Compote:
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp water
For the Vegan Pancakes (yields about 6 Pancakes):
1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tbsp neutral oil (e.g., coconut or canola), plus extra for cooking
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Make the Blueberry Compote: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and water. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar; let sit for 5 minutes. Add oil and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed.
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour batter (about ¼ cup per pancake) onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve: Stack pancakes and top with warm blueberry compote. Enjoy!
