Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick mix (make sure yours is vegan; some Bisquick contains dairy, so check the label or use a vegan baking mix alternative)
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or another sweetener (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (for extra fluffiness)
- Pinch of salt
- Vegan butter or oil, for cooking
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Small bowl for flax egg
Instructions
- Prepare the flax egg: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons water. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens to an egg-like consistency.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups Bisquick mix, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt.
- Add wet ingredients: To the dry mixture, add the prepared flax egg, 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of vegan butter or oil to grease the surface.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm: Remove the pancakes and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Tips & Variations
For extra fluffy pancakes, make sure not to overmix the batter. Slight lumps are okay!
- Add fresh fruit: Fold in blueberries, sliced bananas, or chopped strawberries into the batter for a fruity twist.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth and flavor.
- Use aquafaba: For a different egg substitute, 3 tablespoons of aquafaba (chickpea water) can replace the flax egg for an equally fluffy result.
- Gluten-free option: Use a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick if you need gluten-free pancakes.
- Make mini pancakes: Use a tablespoon to make small, fun-sized pancakes perfect for kids.
