Frequently Asked Questions about Vegan Apple Pecan Pancakes

1. Can I use store-bought oat flour instead of blending oats?
Yes, store-bought oat flour works perfectly and saves time! Just measure it as directed in the recipe.

2. Can I substitute pecans with another nut?
Absolutely! Walnuts are a great alternative, or you can use seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.

3. What can I use instead of apple cider vinegar?
Lemon juice works as a great substitute to activate the baking soda.

4. Are these pancakes gluten-free?
Yes, as long as you use certified gluten-free oats, the recipe is naturally gluten-free.

5. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter fresh, as the oat flour may absorb too much liquid over time and thicken excessively. However, you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately and combine them just before cooking.

Vegan Apple Pecan Pancakes

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

These Vegan Apple Pecan Pancakes are a cozy breakfast favorite, featuring grated apples, crunchy pecans, and warm spices like cinnamon. Perfect for fall and winter mornings, they’re easy to make, gluten-free, and absolutely delicious! 🍎🥞

Ingredients

  • 1 medium apple, grated
  • 1 cup rolled oats (blended into oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup plant-based milk (e.g., almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg (optional, for extra warmth)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • A pinch of salt
  • Coconut oil or vegan butter for cooking

Instructions

    1. In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create vegan "buttermilk."
    2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    3. Add the grated apple, "buttermilk," and maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until combined.
    4. Fold in the chopped pecans. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
    5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or vegan butter.
    6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
    7. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
    8. Stack the pancakes and top them with sliced apples, a drizzle of maple syrup, and extra chopped pecans. Add a dollop of vegan yogurt for a creamy touch!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Apples: Grate them just before mixing for maximum flavor and moisture.
  • Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to ensure fluffier pancakes.
  • Toast the Pecans: Lightly toast the pecans for an extra boost of nutty flavor.
