Vegan Pancakes


Ingredients

- 1 cup flour (I used gluten free, but regular flour would work too)
- 2 tbsp. brown sugar
- 2 tbsp. ground flax seeds (a great binder for dessert mixtures, perfectly replacing eggs) *see note*
- 2 tbsp coconut flakes (optional)

- 1 cup soya milk (I used rice milk, but coconut, cashew, almond milk would work too)
- 3tbsp. melted coconut oil

- olive oil (to drizzle on pan)
- maple syrup and frozen berries as pancake toppings




*NOTE: Grounds flax seeds are not necessarily required for this recipe, due to the use of coconut oil. Also, flax seeds are an amazing source of fibre, magnesium, iron, protein, potassium & vitamin B-6.

Directions
1. Add the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl (flour, sugar, flax seeds, coconut flakes)
2. Add the wet ingredients into the same mixing bowl (milk and coconut oil)
4. Whisk all ingredients together until mixture is smooth and slightly thick (similar to cake batter)      -> add more milk/ flour depending on the consistency of the mixture
5. Turn the stove onto medium heat, whilst drizzling some olive oil onto a (non-stick) pan
6. I used a soup ladle to scoop out the pancake mixture onto the pan, cooking it for approximately
half a minute on each side, until slightly golden.
7. Add your pancakes onto a plate
8. I added maple syrup, mixed berries and more coconut flakes as toppings :)
9. Enjoy :)

Yield: 6-7 small pancakes
