Vegan Pancake Adventures

Hi everyone :)


I have realized that I haven't had pancakes for like...ages. So, last night I decided to give it a go and try to make some sweet ones and also, since it was dinner time, some savory ones. Since my Mom was at work and I wanted to surprise my Grandma, who's here to visit us from Germany for a while, I consulted the internet for an easy recipe. I found this one immediately: http://www.laubfresser.de/2009/10/vegane-pfannkuchen.html

For the English speakers/non-metric-system-users:

- 2 cups of water (or soy/almond/hemp/rice/rye/hazelnut/walnut/...(you get the point) milk)
- 1 cup of flour (best would of course be not to use wheat flour; I used rye flour)
- a pinch of salt
- 4 tbs of sugar (+ 1 tsp of vanilla sugar/extract) for the sweet kind & 1 and a half tsp of sugar for the savory kind (again, raw cane sugar would be best)


Now, for the sweet kind I also added some cocoa powder, dark chocolate chips & banana slices. For the savory kind I chopped some tomatoes and also put in some basil, salt & pepper.
I'd love to attach a photo of both kinds but the savory pancakes were pretty much inhaled by us and I forgot to take a picture of them. But here are two  of the sweet ones:

While baking...
 They look so dark because of the cocoa powder, not because they're burnt btw ;) 

and...DONE!

This recipe is really easy and quick to try out and you can add whatever you want according to you own likings!

Happy baking :D
