Is it a feasible alternative to let soak the grounded seeds in a little milk before whipping? I added a healthy dose of cinnamon and they are amazing! I made these for my 15 year old son and myself yesterday. Well, he asked for them again for breakfast. You have a winner here! Those pancakes are magnificent…although I would expect nothing less than magnificance from you…….
We are Eastern Orthodox, so we celebrate Xmas on January 7th. Thanks for all of the wonderful recipes. Totally delicious, perfect texture, and the husband likes them too. The best part is—no eggs. These look amazing— the perfect combination of fluffy and crispy! Pass the maple syrup, please….
My husband celebrated Jewish Xmas every year here in Chicago until we started dating and I took him home with me for Christmas that first time. I heart puffy pancakes too! I have been using your vegan brunch recipe for years with all my notes and modifications in the margins. I use a tablespoon of baking powder and use sugar instead of maple syrup for crunch and sub melted earth balance for the oil and added apple cider vinegar to the almond milk. Made these twice in two days!
Big hit with adults and of course kids. First batch I made as written. Second batch I doubled and used 2 cups of white wheat and one cup all purpose. I also forgot to add the sugar!!!!!! No one noticed but me! I also used half oil and half applesauce. Next time I will use all white wheat and all applesauce and reduce sugar by half and I think they will still be delicious!
Thanks for such a versatile recipe! Excellent pancakes — made this morning for my daughter as promised. Your tips about heating the griddle, letting batter rest, etc. Love the tip about adding some cinnamon — will try that next time. I did find them a tad salty, so will probably cut down on that ingredient next time. Finally, on NYE, I have fulfilled it!!
Come to Chicago for Jewish Xmas! We have an awesome Chinatown which is packed with Jewish and Chinese people on Christmas Eve and day. Even though we live way out in the suburbs we always run into someone we know in Chinatown on Xmas! Woke up after a very late New Years Eve and threw these together in no time flat. Even without my cast iron pan, these turned out beautifully. I smothered them in organic crunchy peanut butter, and am planning on experimenting with banana and chocolate chips for next time. These were so yummy!
Just like diner pancakes! Even burnt though, they still tasted fluffy and awesome. Could these work with WW pastry flour, too? And if I double or triple the recipe for guests, would the batter be okay waiting while the rest cook, or should I make the batches separately? Thanks for the recipe! Did you let your batter rest, Diane? I heart pancakes, and have never managed to find an egg and dairy free recipe that recreated the perfect fluffiness of a traditional recipe. I just made these pancakes for breakfast. These were the best vegan pancakes I have ever made.
I added blueberries to mine after I poured the batter in the pan. They were not quite as thick as the ones in the picture but still quite fluffy. Thanks for another great recipe! Regular whole grain flours are a lot heavier than all-purpose. Made these this weekend and they were delicious!
I will use this recipe for pancakes from now on! Yup, these look amazing. So glad I came across your site — Happy New Year! Just making these now, they are a hit! We agreed this will be our new go-to pancake recipe for sure. So so so so good. Fluffy pillows of comfort, indeed! I made these yesterday with applesauce instead of oil and used cooking spray instead of oil in the pan. I am not such a fan of pancakes, but these look amazing.
I can totally see the compromise between me and my family: They made a believer out of someone on the fence about pancakes, and to the other person obsessed with pancakes they were an absolute delight! My families search for the good vegan pancakes has come to an end. These are a tad crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and they taste just like the non-vegan variety. Most vegan pancakes have this glue like consistency that sticks weirdly to the roof of your mouth not these.
Looking forward to making and eating these again. These do exactly what you said they would do, and they are delicious!! Thank you for the recipe. These are the best! I made them the other day, and I was a little worried because the batter tasted very baking soda-y, but there was no trace of it in the cooked pancake. I also added chocolate chips, which I thought might deflate them a little but they were still lovely and pillow-y. Currently eating these bad boys. I am in pure love! I am going to try these with whole wheat flour next time: I had the […].
This is one of my favorite meals. I added blueberries,,, amazing. They were just as fluffy as the picture!!! The texture is unbelievable, and they were so irresistibly fluffy that the first one that came off the griddle went directly to my mouth. The coconut worked so well with the earthy taste of the whole wheat, plus the unbeatable cake like feel of the pancake, that I actually swooned like the York peppermint patty model from the commercial.
I know this is a long one, but this recipe deserves all the accolades. Feel free to try these as gluten-pancakes — it worked for us! We made them two mornings in a row! I made these for my daughter this week and WOW are they a winner!!! Thanks for the ideal pancake recipe! I will try maple syrup instead of sugar next time. I had been making pancakes from The Joy of Vegan Baking and that recipe calls for half a cup maple syrup, which gives another layer of flavor.

Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. Donna, I made them gluten free. I just made these for a 4 year old and they were scarfed down! Thanks for having some kid friendly recipes. Pancakes have always been a family favorite, especially with my daughter. Seems so long ago! I tried the recipe twice, and each time I completely failed!
The only other thing I could think of was that my baking powder is pretty old- could that make a difference? I found that the batter was pretty thin once I added the water- I almost feel like I should have left it out completely… Any thoughts? The batter should be very thick, even with the water. What kind of measuring cups are you using? She recommends using a cast iron skillet, and after seeing how evenly it can […].
Even my non-vegan family members liked these! These are my new favorites. I have to tell you. They were just so beautiful. I am making these for the second time. We added banana to ours. They just keep getting better. Thank you for the recipe! I made these for my non-vegan family and they were so impressed. I have never had such a wonderfully fluffy pancake! They were also super easy to make. I made these, and liked them, but really hoped to LOVE them. I used whole wheat pastry flour—could that have kept them from being as fluffy as expected?
I made a batch of these and they are great. They a very much the lighter, fluffier type of pancake not heavy like others. OMG, these are so good! I make almost 3 times a week, my whole family, baby included, love them!! Mine dont get this puffy for some reason? I use whole wheat pastry flour, is that why? Thank you for giving us this totally awesome recipe! I never knew that. Non-vegan friends I served breakfast to were begging for the recipe.
This pancake recipe kicks ass! Thanks so much for sharing it. She suggests doing so, and I think it really works. If you are looking for the perfect vegan non-pumpkin recipe, I suggest you use her recipe found here: I made these this morning. Had them with coconut syrup and smart links.
Thank you for being born. Every vegan pancake I tried turned out incredibly flat, and a little odd. So thank God — or whoever! Hi Isa, Is the ground flax seed a must. Flax seed does not do wonderful things for my stomach. Sorry for the TMI. I also got crazy and baked some of them up like muffins, and that also turned out great! I made these with three tablespoons of applesauce instead of flax and they turned out like delicious fluffy pancakes. But I havent compared it to the flax version.
Found it here http: Changed is slightly to make them vegan. They worked more or less but I do think I should have cooked them more. I will use this recipe again!
The 50 best Australian songs of the 90s
I was short on almond milk and used 1 C skim milk. Would that make a difference? Will definitely try again, though. A word of warning: I made these with the two tablespoons of sugar specified in the recipe and they were nast. Just made these for my 8 year old non-vegan pancake connoisseur, and he gave them the thumbs ups!
Yay for kid-approved vegan recipes! Made these again for the…. I also used coconut milk this time, but I did that the last time too and it turned out fine then. Let me tell you, I have tried many, many vegan pancake recipes and this was by far the best. The apple cider vinegar and ground flax seeds were a great idea, and so was resting the batter for a long time. I will definitely make these again — thank you! Samantha — the ground flax really is important since it basically replaces the eggs you normally find in pancakes. My two boys are so in love with you right now!
Puffy Pillow Pancakes
My husband and I are vegan, the boys are getting there-all our baking is now vegan, thanks in large part to you! A happy accident happened last time I made these-I only used 1 cup of flour distracted by the pancake loving boys and ended up with a fabulous sweet crepe, I imagine that leaving the vanilla out would make for a savory crepe. Thanks for a fabulous vegan Sunday morning!
Ha ha, had to share our laugh: Do not make that same mistake, people or else it will taste like you are eating antacids. We made them today with baking powder, and they were great!
I made these this morning with brown rice flour as i was out of apf. I added 1tsp of cinnamon. They did come out fluffy ,however they were crumbly im sure because of the flour. No matter my son ate 5,i did manage to get 1!! I bought some apf this afternoon so i can make these on Easter for brunch. Thank you for another wonderful recipe! This is now my go-to pancake recipe! Here in Mexico we make these 2 times a week now.
Today I used a wisk instead of fork for the flaxseed mixture and talk about foamy! The bowl was completely full and we have not 6 but 10 pancaked this morning. We also iike to smush up some raspberries or blackberries and add to the mix. I made them with a small, ripe mashed banana rather than the flaxseed and it worked great!
My boyfriend prefers the banana flavor to the more nutty taste of flaxseed for these. Leftovers also delicious reheated in the toaster. Find the recipe here http: And if you are really decadent, you will top them […]. Chinese food and cheesy movies…maybe even popcorn. So is my husband. Best pancakes ever, vegan or otherwise. So light and fluffy. I will be saving this recipe for sure!
I am currently tearing down a pile of these bad boys. Party in ma mouth!
What is Kobo Super Points?
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Oh my God , I made these this morning, soooo good. I ate 2 of them with a chopped up banana and agave. I would like to know the nutritional information? Jewish Xmas happens in Florida too! My parents retired to Florida and I would visit at Xmastime. A while ago I made your pumpkin pancakes from Vegan Brunch, and while they were delicious, they were very thin and flat. This time, I made them exactly the same, but let them rest for about minutes before cooking. They ended up super fluffy!!! Not quite as fluffy as when I specifically made these pillow pancakes, but way fluffier than usual.
People should use that waiting advice on all pancakes! I make these every Sunday morning and triple the recipe; hubby reheats the leftovers for breakfast during the week. I use a combination of whole wheat pastry, buckwheat and all-purpose flours. I also make oat flour by running quick-cooking oats through the blender. I usually add fresh blueberries.
Just finished a plateful. I just made these and they were so good!!! I used all white whole wheat flower and they were still deliciously puffy and pillowy. I made the blueberry sauce from Vegan with a Vengeance to go with them and it was wonderful. Thanks for this recipe. Can I sub warm water?
To make rhubarb syrup, combine sliced rhubarb and brown sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat until it breaks down. LikeBe the first to like this. Made me love my cast iron all the more! My new go-to pancake recipe. Thes pancakes are amazing!
I make them every weekend now since I fund this recipe in May. I use WW pastry flour and they come out perfect! I also use coconut oil to cook them in the skillet and the smell is heavenly! My kids said they taste like heaven! Last night My wife and I stayed up kind of late watching TV. Neither of us had had pancakes for a long time. I will have dairy every once and a while.
Well it was 1: I wanted to surprise my wife. I saved this recipe and will defiantly use it anytime I want pancakes. Thanks for sharing this! I made a vegan version cinnamon and sugar butter to go along with, and the kids gobbled them up with no complants! I made these while we were on vacation in Colorado and worried that they would be less than puffy. I have made these so many times now — double batches usually. It was the only oil I had at the time. I have also frozen them with great success and warmed them up in a moistened paper towel in the microwave.
These are the best pancakes!! We have also substituted whole wheat pastry flour for the white flour and it works perfectly. Thanks for a great recipe. Thanks Isa so much for sharing this. I love your site and your books and am looking forward to your next one.
Love from Vienna, Austria not Australia. Does it have to be canola oil? Is there a better healthier, less processed option? These were soooooo amazinnggg! Thank you so much for posting these wonderful recipes. I accidentally added too much water but they came out with a crepe-like consistency.
I also added some lavender flower buds and the flavor was fabulous. Pancakes are my curse. Then I became a vegan, told him I was making these, and he had a good chuckle- until I put perfect fluffy pancakes on his plate. Today is my birthday and I made these for my birthday breakfast. I added some cinnamon to the batter. These are the best pancakes ive ever had. Thank you so much! It is on the interweb, after all, so […]. I definitely did something wrong the first time. The tips on temperature and mixing were spot-on. This came out fantastic the first time I tried it.
We had these this morning; I left out the flax seeds, but otherwise followed to the letter. We will make these often! Nice and fluffy just like you said. And I substituted white whole wheat flour for all purpose flour — and they were still fluffy. And yes, I am a big uber vegan dork because I think I actually […]. These taste amazing, yet they never seem to get as thick with me, and its far too runny to use all that liquid.
Still it is simply amazing and the batter makes for some incredible french toast! It tastes no different than the pancakes I made as a vegetarian, using eggs and butter and milk. Only I use vegan margarine in the pan to cook them in. It gives it a buttery taste. I followed the recipe to the letter with the addition of one other ingredient—blueberries.
They did not deflate at all. Remained puffy and beautiful. Also tried it using frozen blueberries and again, puffy perfection. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe! Just made these this morning and the fluffiness is fantastic. I tweeked them a little since I wanted something apple-cinnamony this morning. They cook up fantastically fluffy and airy. These pancakes are the bomb! Every bit as light and fluffy as promised. I just made these for my family this morning.
They were SO amazing!!! Thanks for these delicious pancakes. They will be a new staple at our house for sure. However, when it comes to the best vegan pancakes, I have to say that I think Isa Chandra has covered it in this department. I followed the recipe exactly, but used a non stick pan instead of a cast iron. These are seriously the best vegan pancakes. I changed one thing: I tried flat bottomed measuring cups, rounded bottom measuring cups. I have no idea what I did wrong.
I have made these twice so far! My egg-loving, milk chugging boyfriend absolutely loves them. Made these last night and they were delicious — only made one change which was used mashed banana instead of oil and it worked! Another hint — make sure pan is at correct temperature before you start! First pancakes stuck to the pan and became mush but all others worked like a charm. Well, try try again!!! This is hands down the best recipe for vegan classic american -style pancakes I have ever come across. Also each pancake was really heavy, good but heavy. I will make these again.
This is the most excellent pancake recipe ever, vegan or not, it is a huge hit with my whole family, especially my 1 yr. I did try to make a batch this morning with whole wheat pastry flour and oat flour instead of the all purpose and they were a total flop — literally! Apparently those flours are much too heavy for this recipe, so tomorrow I will be back to following the recipe exactly!
I have been searching a long time for a pancake recipe that is good, and this is by far the best. Apparently Isa had the same problem. So, puffy pillow pancakes were born. Today I tried out two of them. I was thinking it would be a quick prep. I just made these and they were amazing! My dog even stole one from my plate. Were they 1 inch thick? No, but they were still fluffy and had great texture.
This might have been because I added the last half cup of flour after I mixed it but that was my fault for forgetting. The timing was also great because I always eat a raw veggie or fruit half an hour before a meal. The 10 minutes of rising was also perfect cleaning time and the cooking time allowed for me to eat the pancakes between batches. Thank you so much for sharing! I make this recipe a LOT for my toddler son. I am trying to get away from using white flour, though.
Has anyone made this with another type of flour? Have you had good results? In addition to the juice, I made the best vegan pancakes I have ever tried. For lunch I plan to see how the cashew cheese holds up in a […]. These were soo delicious!! We are not vegan or even vegetarian, I am just out of eggs and milk. My kids are loving them. The second best pillow after you get out of bed by the looks of it!! It was accompanied by fresh blueberries, mango, strawberry and orange slices and I used agave as my syrup. Btw-I made some of them blueberry pancakes and they were still yummy and fluffy.
These were absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! This is definitely my new go-to pancake recipe. So fluffy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. You are goddess for posting these online, thank you!! Saw this posted on FB and I have been craving pancakes for the last two weeks. Since I had not had breakfast yet I made them! Definitely making again soon so I can share with others.
Made these for dinner about 2 hours ago with very no expectations and WOW. They are fantastic, fast, and simple! Thanks for a great recipe! I bought new baking power, thinking that was the reason but it did not help. Only other possible difference is maybe the pan? Open to any thoughts.
The 50 best Australian songs of the 90s - Music Reads - Double J
By the way, my family is making its way through your Vegan Brunch book and so far everything is terrific — scones are a regular staple these days. It was insanely […]. I love pancakes on snow days! Heck, I love pancakes on any […]. Made these the other day exactly according to the recipe, except I folded in some blueberries at the end. My friends raved about them! It's got the basics of a perfect pop tune; it'll make you feel good, get stuck in your head, keep you interested for its not-quite-three-minute duration and probably won't change your life.
Only difference is, this one has a bitchin' fuzz solo in the middle of it. The only criticism is that at one-minute-and-forty-eight seconds, it's not long enough! When I first heard it, I loved it so much I wanted it to keep going. I never got sick of it. Exploring global sounds is commonplace today. In the lead-up to making the album in Vancouver, they travelled through India and Turkey, recording female singers in Kashmir and Islamic prayers in Istanbul.
With Jacqui Hunt's hypnotic delivery out front, Single Gun Theory wove the samples together and made music for both the head and feet. The true feat of this Sydney trio is how good their albums still sound today. Let's face it, it's a travesty that Died Pretty didn't conquer the world with 's Doughboy Hollow. Ron Peno sings his heart out against a backdrop of rich instrumentation in exquisite balance.
When the drums come thumping in at the start and that gloriously thick guitar sound in the chorus… not to mention Kevin Mitchell's lazy Australian drawl. For a bit there in my early 20s, I was attending literally every show that Augie March was playing in Melbourne. I was a crazy obsessed person. I remember seeing Augie March at the Continental not long after this song had come out, and someone in the crowd mistook me for lead singer Glenn Richards. From behind we had pretty much the same haircut not on purpose, I swear I think it was possibly the proudest moment of my life up to that point.
The person in question was pretty disappointed to find out I wasn't Glenn Richards, lead singer of Augie March. We don't know who she's singing it to, but we're pretty sure the answer is no. Unless she was singing it to herself. This bare-bones song showed the world why we were all so captivated by Hart's voice. For all the comparisons people made to other female folk singers, it was clear she injected something unique and real into her performance.
This song also gave us rare proof that the recorder had purpose outside of the classroom. Smells like an independently-minded indie band giving the middle finger to a major label machine. There's so much to love about this song. From the blown gasket sound at the start, to the spine-tingling surf-crashing guitar licks, it takes you from the desert to the sea via a raging bust up. It's bitter and it's beautiful. Severed Heads have always been my favourite Australian band, and the original of this track is a stone-cold electronic classic, adored around the world.
I love the band's uncompromising and antagonistic approach to the music industry and their DGAF attitude to popularity. With the band locked into a dirty groove, Dean Turner's bass guitar is the perfect foil for Adalita's hazy, half-sung soul searching. It's enough to send any mosh nuts. This huge single from The Living End hits you in the guts, right from the first few bars. It's got the kind of chorus that makes you want to sing scream every.
Especially the part about being a brat and talking back. And that breakdown 2 minutes in? Just a great excuse to jump around really. That stuff you think about when walking barefoot, alone by the ocean. It tells the story of Vincent Lingiari and the strike by the Wave Hill workers, and does so with insight, humanity, patient expectation and dignity.
It's not surprising that it's become an anthem of enduring hope for many other groups in their various struggles and campaigns for justice and change. The initial restraint turns into release by the song's end, and whenever I hear it now I can't help but think back to being a carefree pre-teen. It starts contemplative and quiet, almost tentative, setting the scene of the two lovers hanging out together at a party, drinking and dancing. There's nothing like it. This Sydney trio were a curious lot. They started as teenagers wielding guitars, creating a messy hybrid that fed off grunge and slacker rock.
But, in time, Gerling put the guitars to the side and pulled out keyboards, synthesizers, samplers and vocoders. When they recorded their debut album in , they were still straddling the two worlds. What came back the following year was a series of remixes that showed the way forward for the rest of their recording career.
It was like the band had taken a trip on The Love Boat, as summer vibes were now high on their agenda. Funnily enough, perhaps sitting alongside them on deck, also basking in the sun, were a Melbourne bunch in transformation mode as well. The Avalanches beat them to world domination, but Gerling's influence is still felt on the local scene today. There's a reason people who hate Midnight Oil 's social and political standpoints still know and love their songs. Peter Garrett could be singing about anything and this would have connected with plenty.
He was singing about real people who were stricken with real, debilitating disease and a real company who really didn't care. It's a harrowing tale of how the working man has been used as a pawn to do the dirty, dangerous work of a huge corporation. It just so happens to also have a beat perfect for fist-pumping and a chorus crafted for hearty singalongs, which is why it appealed to the masses around the world.
If even a small percentage of rock'n'roll fans took something from their message, the band's work was not in vain. Great songs usually start with a great opening line. And a story that unravels slowly, with great imagery thrown in along the way. Plus, it has a great chorus that even the tone deaf can hum along to. Neil Finn knows all this. That's why he's done it time and time again. The singer's got empathy for the person lying next to him.
He's done something, so it's good he's got some compassion. People might think this is a romantic love song, one to walk down the aisle to. Listeners have often thought Finn's songs were one thing, when they were usually the exact opposite. Is anything resolved by the end? Finn knows that's not what life is. That's why we keep coming back for more and more spins of this and other Crowded House classics trying to find an answer for all those raining tears.
At the same time, there's kinda nothing going on at all.
