Recipes I’ve made:

Vegan Pound Cake Pancakes

-makes 8 pancakes-

10 oz tofu

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 tsp almond extract

1/4 cup + half of the 1/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tbl softened butter (optional for that pound cake flavor)

3 Tbl soymilk

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

optional: you can add in spices

1. Blend tofu, vanilla and almond extract, and brown sugar. Blend till smooth. *Add a bit of water

2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, (and spices if you’d like)

3. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together. Adding the soymilk little by little.

4. Now stir in the softened butter.

With this recipe you can go either route.

The cake or pancake highway. For smooth cruising down Cake Route 76 just pre-heat your oven to 375. Bake for 15-20 minutes. It depends how much thick and fluffy you want them. Or the bumpier Pancake Highway 1 making experience you can turn on your griddle and get to flipping!

As for toppings, GO CRAZY!!! It’d be awesome to make a glaze.. lemon, orange? First time I tried these I made a cashew cream and sliced some peaches, apples, and oranges. I also drizzled on some amaretto syrup and sprinkled some cinnamon. I also tried them the way I use to in Germany. Apple slices, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. So delicious!

*Note: The pound cake flavor would probably be more authentic if you used white flour.
