When it comes to vegan breakfast options, it can be challenging to find recipes that are both healthy and satisfying. These vegan chocolate chip pancakes are a great option for anyone who is looking for a delicious breakfast that is easy to make and doesn’t contain any animal products.
Not only are these pancakes delicious, but they are also a great source of plant-based protein and fiber. The combination of flour and baking powder provides a good dose of carbohydrates, which will give you the energy you need to start your day. Plus, the addition of chocolate chips adds a touch of sweetness that is sure to satisfy your cravings without compromising your vegan diet.
If you’re looking to make these pancakes even healthier, try swapping out the all-purpose flour for a whole grain flour, such as spelt or oat flour. You can also add in some ground flaxseed or chia seeds for an extra boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Pancakes Ingredients
To make this recipe, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients that are likely already in your pantry.
- Dairy-free milk: whatever non dairy milk you like! I use an unsweetened version.
- Coconut sugar: Use whatever sugar you like. If you want to keep it low sugar you can use Swerve.
- Vanilla extract: you always need a touch of vanilla!
- Flour: any flour you like will work! I almost always use King Arthur flour!
