The best way how to make fluffy eggless/vegan pancakes with a homemade fruit compote. A great healthy breakfast idea with aquafaba.
Today we have fluffy vegan pancakes on the menu and instead of eggs, we will use a can of chickpeas (it’s the liquid called AQUAFABA that works as a great binding agent).
It will take around 25 minutes for this recipe and you should be able to make around 15 pancakes (3-4 servings)
Among the pancakes recipe, I will also show you how to make a nice mix berry compote that will accompany them 🙂
P.S. – don’t forget the maple sirup :O
INGREDIENTS:
– 1 can of chickpeas (approx. 200ml of Aquafaba)
– 200 ml soya milk
– 3 tbsp brown sugar (you can use regular as well, I just like a toffee taste to it)
– 1 lemon (for some lemon zest) and the rest for compote
– 1.5 cup of regular flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 5 tbsp sunflower oil
– vanilla extract (4 – 5 drops)
The ingredients for the compote:
– strawberries
– blueberries
– raspberries
– 3 tbsp brown sugar
– 1,5 tsp lemon juice
PREPARATION:
Our first step is to separate the liquid that we need from the chickpeas and put it in a bowl where you will mix everything together.
–> Also for those days when you just use chickpeas for something, it is safe to put the liquid in a plastic container and to freeze it for another time.
We will now add the following: soya milk, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, sunflower oil, vanilla extract, and a bit of lemon zest to the bowl.
And the next thing is to slowly start adding the flour to the bowl while mixing it.
Once you are done with this, you have 2 options: start baking the pancakes (it would be handy if you have a helping hand) or put the mix in the fridge while you are making the compote.
For the compote it will take you 10 minutes to prepare it – you will have to cut the strawberries and blueberries and add them to a saucepan together with the raspberries (leave some aside just to add them at the end for crispiness).
Put the saucepan on the stove on medium heat and give it some time to heat up.
Once heated up add the sugar and give it another few minutes so it all becomes nice and thick.
You can then take it from the stove and add the remaining fruits to it.
Squeeze out some lemon juice and add it to the compote – in case you have some leftovers this is a great preservative.
Now, it’s time to serve them and eat!
Enjoy!!
