Packed with fresh strawberry flavour, these super easy, fluffy vegan strawberry pancakes are worth getting out of bed for!

Are you a morning person? I am not and never have been. But honestly, knowing there’s not just pancakes but fluffy vegan strawberry pancakes really does make abandoning my warm bed and Baxter cuddles a little easier.

Plus they’re pink.

How to make egg free pancakes

Vegan pancakes really CAN be just as fluffy, easy and delicious as those with eggs. I use a combination of a couple of things to get those pancakes sky high. First is baking powder, this gives them the rise. Then adding apple cider vinegar with baking soda causes a (natural) chemical reaction which gives them that wonderful fluffy texture. The vinegar also reacts with the milk, turning it into a sort of vegan buttercream, giving the pancakes a wonderfully rich flavour. And don’t worry, I promise you can’t taste the vinegar.

Making vegan pancakes really is as easy as popping it all into a blender and letting that do the hard work. I normally just whisk vegan pancake batter that’s made with flour rather than oats but because I wanted to have fresh strawberries blended INTO the batter (because pink pancakes) the blender had to come out.

Cooking the strawberry pancakes

Once you’ve blended your pancake batter (and admired its gorgeous pinkness for a moment) heat a large frying pan with a spray or drizzle of oil over a medium heat.

Add large spoonfuls of batter, gently spreading into a circle shape. Leave yourself enough room in the pan to be able to flip the pancakes.

Add a slice (or slices) of fresh strawberries to the uncooked top side of the pancakes and gently press it into the batter. You could also stir diced strawberry through the batter before cooking instead.

Cook for a couple of minutes until bubbles start to form on the top side then carefully – but with intention – flip your pancakes over.

Side note: for years I’ve used a metal fish slice style spatula to flip everything from burgers to pancakes to fritters. But I’ve just bought myself a considerably more flexible wide silicon spatula flipper thing and what a game changer! Makes flipping anything a flipping doddle!

Continue cooking the pancakes until you’ve used all the batter. Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven or reheat in the microwave.
