I eat vegan chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast almost every Sunday. And sometimes more often than that. Problem is, I always lose my recipe (I don't have a great storage system -- I pretty much scrawl recipes on whatever piece of paper is closest to me at the time). And I have a terrible memory, even though this particular mix is pretty basic.
So, every Sunday, I find myself searching through cupboards and drawers for that yellow piece of paper I've written it on. This weekend, I decided to change all that. I decided to plan ahead for a more delicious tomorrow.
To make your own vegan pancake mix is easy. Just find an airtight container, mix together the ingredients, and store. You will also want to place a sticker somewhere on your container with instructions (mostly how to add the wet ingredients). I suggest a sticker because it's one less piece of paper to have flying around your kitchen. But if you're better at remembering things than I am -- do what works best for you.
Otherwise, you'll defeat the purpose entirely.
What you'll need . . .
- 32 ounce (or larger) container
- 2 cups wheat pastry flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (I used Sugar in the Raw)
Method . . .
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sugar. Make sure it's well incorporated.
- Pour it into the container and cover. Best to use an air-tight variety to ensure freshness.
- Then make a sticker that says something like: To make a single serving, mix together 1/2 cup mix plus 1/2 cup soy milk and 2 teaspoons canola oil. Add vegan chocolate chips, if desired (yes, please!). Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Pour mix in 1/4 cupfuls and cook until browned on both sides.

You should try Evernote. On recipes like these that are near and dear to my heart, it makes things so easy!
These look yummy btw, I need to make pancakes more often!
YUM!
That's such a great idea, especially putting a recipe sticker on the jar. I need to do that for all of my grain jars (instead of having to pause each time and look up how much water to grain I need for millet vs quinoa vs bulgar, etc). Thanks!
That is such a smart idea, pre-making and storing pancake mix. Im always in the mood for pancakes, but never have time to whip them up!
Yum! Great idea making it before hand. They look delicious. I may have to have pancakes for dinner.
I was tastespotting tonight and saw the pictures of your pancakes! Recognized them immediately since I read the post earlier this afternoon.
oh how delicious and such a good idea!!! pancakes on demand :) i love it!
Thanks, everyone. I actually dipped into my own bath last night to make myself some Monday night pancakes. Yum! And you're so right, Steph. Pancakes on demand. The question is: Is that a good or bad thing? Hahaha.
These look great! Not a big fan of chocolate chips (I know the horror), but I have some dandelion syrup I am eager to try on some pancakes!
Yum, yum! Love the addition of the chocolate chips. I posted a step-by-step for Cinnamon Bun Pancakes this afternoon. They're delicious!
