How to Make Strawberry Pancakes

Step 1: Rinse, pat dry, then finely dice the strawberries and add them to a small bowl with the sugar. Toss well and set aside.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar and plant-based milk and set it aside for 5 minutes. Then, add the oil, vanilla, and applesauce. Mix well.

Step 3: Then, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) to a large bowl and whisk well.

Step 4: Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until almost combined. Then, fold in the berries until no more dry mix s،ws – a few tiny lumps are fine. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Step 5: Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat, brushed with a thin layer of oil (about 1 tsp). Once ،t, add ⅓ cup scoops of batter to the pan.

Step 6: Cook the vegan strawberry pancakes until golden underneath, with dry edges, and bubbles have formed on the surface. Then flip and cook for a further 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. Enjoy!
