Gluten-free pancakes (vegan)

29th December 2017 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

Who said vegan/gluten-free breakfasts had to be boring? Not me! These easy, gluten-free pancakes are delicious and fluffy, with a hint of cinnamon AND they are naturally sweetened with golden syrup instead of sugar. Wehey!

This recipe is a life-saver. Why? Well, it’s vegan, it’s gluten free and it is all kinds of simple, requiring only 9 ingredients and just 15 minutes to prepare.

I’ve been wanting to experiment more with gluten-free recipes since one of my friends went on the gluten-free diet.. and now I am wanting to shy away from it myself. I must admit that these pancakes were kind of an experiment, but they turned out so good I had to post it.

I have one of those super cool moms who would make us pancakes for dinner, like, once a week, EVERY WEEK. We were of course allowed to choose our own toppings, and I’d always go for the strawberry jam or Nutella. Yum! Pancake days were my favourite kind of days. The obsession continues into adulthood.

I’ve been craving pancakes for a good month now. Late one night last week I was scouring Instagram on my phone. Some days I barely screenshot anything at all and others I’m an absolute maniac, screenshotting nearly everything I see. I was looking for some pancake topping inspo when I came across a recipe for fluffy american-style pancakes. They looked lush but (yes there’s a but), they were neither vegan nor gluten-free. And I’ve been itching to veganise it ever since. They turned out to be pretty good!

Oh, before we get started..can I just add that these will definitely be my new ‘go-to’ pancakes. I always have the ingredients on hand and they’re perfect even for those busy weekday mornings 😉 Enjoy!

AD | Chewy, gooey, caramelised biscuit cookies 🍪  With crunchy caramelised biscuit wafer pieces from @loveraw  Makes 8
Ingredients
* 120 g golden caster sugar
* 50 g dark chocolate chunks
* 2 @loveraw caramelised biscuit wafer bars
* 1/8 tsp salt
* 200 g plain flour
* 1/2 tsp baking soda
* 60 g butter, melted
* 50 g caramelised biscuit spread
* 70 g golden syrup
* 3 tbsp water
Instructions
* Preheat the oven to 180C | gas mark 4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and set aside.

* In a large bowl, combine the golden caster sugar, chocolate chunks and salt. Sieve in the flour and soda.

* In a separate bowl, combine the biscuit spread, butter and golden syrup. Once combined, add it to the flour mixture. Mix using a wooden spoon and bring the dough together using your hands.

* Divide the dough into 8 golf sized balls, flatten slightly and place on the baking tray. Roughly chop the wafer bars and gently push in a couple of pieces into each cookie. 

* Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges of the cookies should feel firm but the centre will be still quite soft. Leave to cool for 15 minutes.  #biscoff #caramelisedbiscuit #cookies #chewycookies #chocoholic #dessertporn #vegandessert #vegetarianrecipe #recipe #foodporn #vegan #veganfoodshare #veganfoodporn #veganfood #veganrecipes #foodinspo #foodblog #foodie #foodshare #veganmealprep #veganism #foodinsta #fitspiration #cantbelieveitsvegan #cleaneating #diet #mealprepinspo #plantbaseddiet #bvsbackdrops
