How to Make Vegan Blueberry Pancakes

For the full recipe, scroll down to view the recipe card below. The recipe for these pancakes is quite simple. Let’s break it down in five steps:

First, create the flax egg (see below for flax egg instructions).
Second, combine the dry ingredients. This includes flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Next, toss in the wet ingredients. This includes almond milk, blueberries, vanilla, and the flax egg.
Then, spoon the batter onto a warm skillet to cook.
Finally, top the pancakes with maple syrup, vegan butter, and fresh blueberries.

How to Make a Flax Egg

Since this pancake recipe is egg-free, I used a flax egg to act as a replacement. What is a flax egg, you ask? The answer is simple: flaxseed meal + water. You can create a flax egg in three easy steps:

Combine 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2 tbsp water.
Stir together and set aside for 5 minutes.
Voila! You have created a flax egg.

The main purpose of a flax egg is to bind ingredients together, much like a traditional egg would do. But that’s not the only benefit! Flax seeds are loaded with nutrients, adding a boost of vitamins and minerals to these pancakes.

Kaylie’s Tips:

Here are my best tips for these vegan blueberry pancakes:

Do not over-mix the pancake batter. To achieve fluffy pancakes, mix the ingredients until just combined. Still have lumps and air pockets in the batter? That’s totally ok. In fact, it’s preferred!
If you don’t have coconut sugar on hand, you can use regular cane sugar instead.
Pay attention while the pancakes are cooking! The best time to flip each pancake is when air bubbles begin to form on their surface. Follow this rule and you’ll always achieve golden-brown pancakes.
Add any toppings of your choosing. But, personally, I think maple syrup is a must!
