Pink Vegan Pancake Recipe ( Crepes)
This recipe for pink Vegan Pancakes (crepe style) is perfect for a vegan pancake day treat or ANY other day of the year.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 ½ cup Plant-based milk of your choice
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract I use a paste so use less/more according to what you use
- 1 tbsp strawberry powder or alternative natural colourant
- 1 tbsp oil plus additional for the pan. I use vegetable oil for the pancake batter itself and coconut oil for the pan
- 1 tsp sugar optional
- Dash of salt
Instructions
- First combine the flour, salt and strawberry powder into a large bowl ( or another natural colourant of choice)*
- Pour in the milk slowly, stirring constantly. The slower you pour the less chance of having a lumpy batter and the smoother than the colour will be as well. **
- Add the vanilla, oil and sugar ( if including) then leave the batter to rest for around 20-25 minutes.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a large frying pan with oil ( I use coconut) and then pour in enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan in a thin layer ( for my pan I use a ladle-full).***
- Heat for between 40-60 seconds till the edges of the crepe begin to pull away from the pan and then flip and repeat. ( in order to keep the colour bright I tend to only cook it for 20-30 seconds on the other side).
- If you’re wanting to create ombre effect crepe’s then simply add extra colourant in between each crepe. I used about ½ tbsp of strawberry powder mixed with a little bit of my plant-based milk to create a paste and then incorporated that into the batter. This reduces the risk of having lumps of powder in the batter.
- Once cooked, cover with your toppings of choice and enjoy!
Notes
*By adding the powder at this point it will reduce the chance of lumps, giving an even colour throughout the batter.
** I say to use around 1 ½ cups but I’d play it by eye. I like to have quite a nice, thin batter as it allows me to create thinner crepes ( something which can be a struggle with vegan crepes).
*** I don’t know about you but my first Pancake never works out so I always use this as a way to adjust mix amount in the pan, temperature etc.
