Vegan and Gluten Free Pancake

 FullSizeRender 2.jpg

There is something about a fluffy stack pancakes covered in syrup with blueberries and strawberries that makes getting up just a little bit early easier. Pancakes have always been of my favourite food  or breakfast, if it was up to me I’d have pancake everyday. But let’s be honest spending 5-10 minutes every morning dedicated to making pancake is impossible when you have work, and school. But given the chance to do it, I usually take the opportunity to make myself a fluffy stack of pancakes for breakfast. 
While I am not gluten intolerance, I do enjoy making gluten free goods and experiment with different gluten free products. That being said, I took the opportunity today to make a fluffy stack of vegan/gluten free pancake with one of my favourite toppings, strawberry. While my previous experiment with pancake usually turns into a disaster, this was not one of those cases. The pancake turned just how I wanted it to be fluffy and just perfect. 
Finding gluten free pancake mix is not hard to find these days, you can enter into any wholes food store or even your local Walmart and you will find a gluten free pancake mix. For this recipe I used President Choice Gluten-Free Original Pancake Mix. To make the pancake vegan friendly I’ve used almond milk and flax seeds egg. 
Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup PC gluten-free pancake mix 
  • 1 tbsp ground flax (How to make flax egg) or ( 1 egg)
  •  1 1/2 cups of almond milk 
Steps
  1. Preheat  non-stick frying pan to medium-high, or nonstick electric griddle to 400°F (200 °C)
  2. In a mixing bowl add all ingredients and whisk until well combined, or until the lumps disappear. Let it stand 1-2 minutes to thicken
  3. Pour less than 1/4 batter for each pancake onto hot, lightly greased pan/griddle. Turn pancakes when bubbles appear on surface, bottom are golden brown and the pancakes feels firms when slightly pressed with spatula. 
  4. Serve immediately with syrup and fruit topping.

What's on My cooking Bookshelf?

When I came first became vegetarian I had no idea what I was doing; my initial motive was driven by a desire of losing weight, but as the years went by it turned into a lifestyle driven by a concern of how unsustainable our current food system is. As well as general concern with the increase industrialization of our food system; this concern was further reinforced when I read Michael Pollan book The Omnivore's Dilemma: A NaturalHistory of Four Meal s, a fantastic book that provides a critically look into our food industry. I an cannot say precisely when I turned vegetarian I might be now 11-12 years now, but it does not matter to me anymore because is sorta a life style to me now. But this is not to say when I started it was easy, it was hard particularly trying to find the perfect meal that's easy for me to cook without depending on my mother.  This finally changed when I finally got bought my first vegan book;  Easy Vegan: Simple Recipes for Healthy Ea...

Kale and Eggplant Salad

So its been two months since I last blogged, and a lot has happened apart from almost finishing my undergrad, I got accepted to Grad school and will be leaving this lovely and peaceful city to the big city Toronto. But enough about that, time to talk about food and food. Given my recent unhealthy eating, which consists, of eating a whole bag of Lays salt and vinegar chips I think its time to go back to eating green and raw. I had a chance to look over my health books and came across Michael Pollan’s book “Food Rules” which I bough maybe three years ago, on part of the book Pollan’s opens the chapter with the simple question of; what kind of of food should I eat? And the answer is mostly plants, especially leaves. This is something that I realized I have been neglecting in my diet recently and it seems that it is time I go back to eating green.   I was browsing through the lovely Jeanine blog Love & and Lemons when I cam across her recipe for Kale Salad...

A Taste of Home: Curry Lentil Cauliflower Soup

  What are the fundamental or essential things in your life that reminds you of home? For many travelers or nomads the essential of their live are comfort home food.   The further they travel the more these comfort food absences become apparent. While I am not much of traveler or consider myself a nomad among the many essential in my life or comfort food that remains me of where I was born and raised for the early years of my childhood is lentil. Strange as it maybe, these essential food or comfort food have stories and deeper meaning; they are a part of who we are. Lentil brings me back to third grade in North Sudan; my holder cousin who is a year older than me waiting in line during lunchtime for both of us. While in class I can smell the lentil soup, its always-green lentil. Now, every time I have lentil or cook lentil it brings me back to that early childhood of being 8 years old, in all catholic middle school with my dark blue and white uniform; with my cousin alwa...
