Expert Baking Tips on how to make this the best recipe for pancakes

Although pancakes vegan recipe is super simple to make, here are just a few expert tips I'd recommend:

• Make sure your dry ingredients are fully mixed in before pouring in the wet ingredients to prevent any lumps from forming.
• When making the milk icing, add a little bit of the liquid at a time to gauge the consistency before adding too much.
• For the chocolate drip, you can either use a runny chocolate spread or make a ganache. By combining equal parts chocolate and plant based milk, double cream or coconut cream.

Ingredients pancakes

Here's everything I used to make these vegan chocolate pancakes

Vegan butter- You can use either vegan block butter or margarine or oil to grease your pan to prevent your pancakes from sticking. 

• Plant-based milk - This can be oat, soya or almond milk
• Sugar - Caster or refined granulated sugar works best here.
• Plain flour - If you're not following a gluten free diet you may use normal plain flour instead
• Plant-based Yogurt - This is our egg substitute. NOTE if you can't get your hands on any, pureed banana or apple (40g) will also work well here.
