Servings: 5 people

Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 1 1/4 cups of flour
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder yes, a tablespoon!
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of warm almond milk
  • 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

Filling

  • 2/3 cups of brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons of melted vegan butter

Instructions

Pancake batter method

  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk the first 4 dry ingredients until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients until combined and gently pour into dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and let batter stand for a few minutes.

Filling method

  • Make the filling: in a small bowl, stir together all filling ingredients and put into a ziplock sandwich bag. Cut off one one corner of the bag (should be a very small opening) - in order to pipe the filling onto the pancakes while cooking.

Cooking method

  • Melt and spread a teaspoon of coconut oil/butter in a pan over medium-low heat
  • Once the pan is hot, add 1/4 cup of pancake batter and spread into a medium/large circle. Starting from the center, pipe on the cinnamon swirl.
  • Gently flip pancake when bubbles begin to rise to the surface (after 2-4 minutes).
  • Let cook for another minute until golden brown on both sides.
  • Repeat process with the remaining pancake batter and filling. Serve warm with maple syrup! Enjoy!
