Fluffy, moist, thick yet light: All a yummy pancake should be…and these are vegan! I have tasted vegan pancakes before and um, yeah, OK, they were good, but I was never impressed–Well, not anymore– I cannot believe I achieved it! I think the secret for their fluffiness is the whipped-up aquafaba that I use in my batter. It’s simply drained liquid from canned beans (preferably organic), usually chickpeas, but cannellini or even kidney beans will also do (don’t you worry, you won’t taste the beans, trust me!!!): I just whisk it briefly with a fork before adding the other ingredients! Also, make sure to pour the batter on a very hot griddle. These are now my easy go-to pancakes any time I am in the mood for pancakes, and that’s saying something!
