Vegan Maple Bacon Pancakes Recipe

Pancake Day, one of the best food holidays on the UK calendar, is almost here! And we've designed a mouth-watering vegan pancake recipe for the occasion. A protein-packed, US-style Maple Bacon Pancake stack topped with THIS plant-based bacon rashers and a generous helping of pure Canadian maple syrup. This sweet-and-salty recipe makes a stack of 8-12 fluffy pancakes.

How to make vegan pancakes?

You might be wondering what wizardy goes into making perfect, fluffy pancakes without using dairy (eggs, milk, and butter). Well, thanks to a few innovative products, you can get the same perfectly light, fluffy, syrup-absorbing pancakes with only a few swaps.

Most importantly, you're going to need a good egg replacement. A Chia egg or flax egg will work, as well as apple sauce or mashed banana, but those options aren't great in this recipe as they will affect the flavour and texture.

As for the milk, you can simply use your preferred plant milk. We used oat milk for our pancake stack, but soy milk and almond milk also do the job quite well, not to mention the possible addition of vegan buttermilk. To reduce the amount of calories in your pancakes, simply swap milk with water, but the end result will be a little less thick.

Are vegan pancakes healthy?

We designed this milkless and eggless pancake recipe with special consideration to nutritional qualities and health promotion as compared to traditional maple bacon pancakes.

Compared to pancakes with non-vegan ingredients, the pancakes in this recipe have more protein, less saturated fat, and fewer calories.

The products we used for the entire batch offer an insane 50 grams of protein, are fortified with vitamin B12 and Iron, and also gluten free! Maple syrup is high in sugar, but contains micronutrients and is lower on the glucose index (GI) compared to other sweeteners and syrups, making them a better choice for diabetics.

So you can snack these bad-boys without guilt, use them liberally as part of your muscle building goals, and reduce your impact on the environment and animal exploitation all at the same time.

Not bad for a stack of pancakes.
