Vegan Power Pancakes

-->

 These pancakes are sweet, spicy and will keep you full until lunch!  If you don’t have all of the spices in this recipe just use what you have, don’t worry they will still taste good.  And feel free to get creative with the add-ins, my favorites are walnut pieces and dried dates but really the base recipe is flexible, you can put bananas, strawberries, really whatever you want in to it.  Have fun and enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 c. whole-wheat flour

1 tbsp coconut sugar or brown sugar

2 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ginger

1/8 tsp cloves

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp salt

1 ¼ c soymilk or almond milk

2 tbsp grape seed oil or vegetable oil

2 tbsp nuts (I like almond slices or walnut pieces)

2 tbsp dried fruit i.e. dates, crasins or raisins

Directions

1.     Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl

2.     Add in the soymilk and oil.  Watch out because the batter will rise quickly due to all of the baking soda!

3.     Put some oil in a skillet (again I like to use the grape seed oil, but veggie oil or a butter substitute will work just fine) and let heat up

4.     Spoon pancake batter on to skillet, and flip when you can see the edges of the pancake begin to brown
