Good Old Pancakes – Only Healthier!

Leave a comment

I love to make these tiny pancakes for my daughter.  My daughter, who is 18-years-old, still loves quarter size pancakes.   (When I make them for me, they are 2, 5-inches pancakes.) She is also a vegan,  so I choose all vegan ingredients.  That means no animal products or animal by-products for her.  So, this pancake is all vegan!  And, all delicious!

To make these pancakes, I use a round flat cast iron pan.  I keep mine seasoned.  And, while I’m preparing the mix, I put the pan on medium heat so it heats up gradually and evenly.

Healthy Pancakes

Hemp hearts, multi-grain pancake mix, ground flax seeds

I measure out the three dry ingredients and stir it around with a spoon to mix.

Unsweetened almond milk

Then, I add the almond milk.  The mixture is thick and lumpy.  It’s time to make those little pancakes.

Using spoon to drop tiny amount…definitely not perfect circles 🙂

After I drop them on the pan, I wait until the sides start to bubble and seem dry.  Then with a butter knife, I flip them over for a few seconds.  The top looks golden brown, like the one in the bottom corner in the photo below.

Ready to be eaten along with maple syrup. Yummy! And, healthy!

After all pancakes are flipped, I arrange them in a circle, smiley face, or heart, and serve them with her favorite syrup, Maple Syrup.
