Author Cecilie Bresson

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp apple sauce
• 1 dl buckwheat flour (½ cup)
• 1 dl almond flour (½ cup)
• 2 dl non-dairy milk (1 cup)
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or black strap molasses
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp cacao powder

Spices

• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ⅓ tsp ground cloves
• 1 pinch of ground nutmeg

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, add apple sauce and syrup/molasses and mix well.

2. In another mixing bowl, mix buckwheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, spices and cacao powder.

3. Pour the apple sauce mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well.

4. Add the plant milk a little at a time until you get the consistency that you want. The pancake batter needs to be a little thick but still spread when it's poured onto the pan.

5. Let the pancake batter sit for 5-10 minutes.

6. Heat up a small pan (medium to medium-high heat). If you don’t have a non-stick pan you might want to add a little oil or vegan butter to the pan (and remember that the first pancake always turns out a little weird).

7. Pour in a little less than ½ cup (1 dl) pancake dough to the pan.

8. Let the pancake cook/bake until it is filled with small bubbles and there is only a little “liquid” dough left – then flip it and bake it a little on the other side.

9. Continue until there is no more dough left.
