23 Easy Vegan Pancake Recipes (Fluffy, Simple & Savory!) (1)

Here at Vegan on Board, we eat a lot of different kinds of vegan pancakes. Especially when we are travelling in our van with no oven, we love how easy, quick and versatile they are.

You can have pancakes for any meal of the day - sweet or savoury... Whether it's fluffy vegan pancakes covered in pure maple syrup for breakfast, homemade pancakes filled with salad for lunch, or veggie and protein-packed pancakes for dinner, there's a pancake for every occasion!

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.

FAQs

Why are my vegan pancakes gummy? ›

With oat-based pancakes, overmixing oat flour batters can make them turn gummy, so mix just until moistened and blended. Let the batter rest. Make sure to let the pan heat up while the batter sits.

Why do vegan cakes need vinegar? ›

This often happens with the first batch. How to fix gooey pancakes: Check the heat source and make sure it's medium-high on an electric or gas stove (+/- a 7 in a numbered dial) or 350-375F on an electric griddle with temperatures. Make sure the pan or griddle is hot before you grease it and before you pour the batter.

How do you make pancakes less gummy? ›

Over-mixing pancake batter develops the gluten that will make the pancakes rubbery and tough. For light, fluffy pancakes, you want to mix just until the batter comes together—it's okay if there are still some lumps of flour. Fat (melted butter) makes the pancakes rich and moist.

How do you keep pancakes from getting gummy? ›

8) Let pancakes cool on a rack, instead of in a stack.

Spacing them out on a rack, rather than piled on top of each other in a classic stack, provides just enough air circulation to prevent them from sticking together and becoming gummy.

Why are my pancakes so gummy? ›

One of the most common is using too much liquid in the batter. This can make the pancakes too dense and wet, resulting in a gooey texture. Another mistake is not correctly preheating your pan or skillet. If the cooking surface is not hot enough, the pancakes will cook too slowly and become mushy.
