Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Plantain Super ripe
  • 1 1/3 cups All purpose flour 170 g
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Fine Sea Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups Soy Milk 300 ml
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tablespoons Vegan Butter for greasing
  • Maple Syrup for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
  • Whisk together until thoroughly mixed and set aside.
  • In another bowl, mash the ripe plantain with a whisk or fork. Then add 1 1/4 cups soy milk, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk everything until smooth.
  • Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Whisk vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth batter, ensuring there are no lumps.
  • Optionally, refrigerate the batter for up to 30 minutes to improve texture.
  • Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Grease the pan lightly with vegan butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  • Optionally, fry slices of plantain in the hot pan until golden on both sides. Set aside.
  • Once the pan is hot, pour a scoop of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Allow the batter to spread naturally into circular shapes.
  • Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and begin to burst, indicating the bottom is cooked. This typically takes 2-3 minutes.
  • Carefully flip each pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the pancakes from the pan and transfer them to a plate.
  • Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
  • Serve the pancakes warm, optionally topping them with the fried plantain slices, plant-based yogurt, maple syrup, or your favorite fruits. Enjoy your delicious vegan pancakes!
