There's nothing like pancakes to start your Saturday off right! If you're like me, you probably grew up eating pancakes made with batter that you add eggs and milk to. But yummy pancakes don't have to have those ingredients to taste delicious! Here is how I made vegan blueberry pancakes for my family this morning...
2 cups unbleached flour
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 cups vanilla soy milk
3 tbsp. canola oil
blueberries
Simply mix the dry ingredients, then add the soy milk and canola oil. Ladle the batter onto the grill and put in as many blueberries as you want. If blueberries aren't your thing, substitute blackberries, raspberries, banana slices or, my personal favorite, vegan chocolate chips. Yum!
We had some other tasty vegan dishes today when we stopped at Eden Alley Cafe in Kansas City for lunch. I enjoyed the sweet potato burrito which was fabulous as usual. Brian had their veggie burger which he said was okay but not one of the better ones he's had. (We are continually sampling veggie burgers everywhere we go!). I had a Pumpkin Spice Latte with soy milk and no whip cream as an AM snack and later we'll be having some leftover vegan lasagna (recipe from The 30-Day Vegan Challenge).
It can be easier than you think to eat a vegan diet. Believe it or not, your favorite veggie sandwich can still taste good without cheese. You can ask for avocado or guacamole instead of cheese on a burrito. Most coffee shops have soy milk to replace the dairy and soy milk can also replace cow's milk in many recipes, especially for baked goods. Next time you cook or eat out, think about what you are having and give it a try without the animal products.
