Fluffy Vegan Blueberry Pancakes

Fluffy Vegan Blueberry Pancakes | The Viet Vegan

These fluffy, vegan blueberry pancakes are legitimately the best pancakes I’ve ever made.
Clouds of vanilla pancake studded with wild blueberries? Heck yeah, breakfast of champions.

Fluffy Vegan Blueberry Pancakes | The Viet Vegan

So something happened a couple weeks ago that I didn’t really tell anyone but close friends and family until today. It’s something I knew was coming (I mean, let’s be real, it’s me and I’m a control freak so naturally I knew it was happening eventually) but Eddie and I got engaged! It was both planned AND spur of the moment, mostly because Eddie’s initial plans sort of didn’t work out due to outside forces, but at the end of the day, we just kind of rolled with the punches and here we are, a ring on my finger and a promise to forever commitment.

We had been planning this for the while, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but I’m still a little bit in disbelief.

I won’t be sharing our engagement story here, but I can share sort of the shift I suddenly felt, even though the only thing that had changed was that I am now wearing jewelry on a specific finger.

I’ve never been one to dream up of a perfect wedding or getting wild with my friends at my bachelorette party, but now my mind is full of plans and venues and things I never considered. Like what linens to get, or what theme my wedding has to be, or what kind of cutlery to have. I mean I saw this stuff in movies but I didn’t really think it was real.

The first day after we got engaged, I reacted by going on a 5 hour deep dive on wedding planning. Where do you start? How many people are you supposed to invite? How do you choose a venue? How much does it all cost? I was supposed to be working on the collab video I did with Mary, but instead I went in DEEP. I found out that bridal bouquets cost upwards of $200 and I added up all the costs of it all and honestly felt pretty nauseated at the whole thing.

I told my family, my best friends, and everyone was ecstatic and happy and I felt sort of out-of-body, telling people how it all happened. For the first few days afterwards, I would wake up and just stare at the shiny bauble on my finger, entranced in ways I never knew I could be by jewelry. Before the engagement, I think I had worn like maybe 2 or 3 pieces of jewelry in the last couple years total, but now I find myself like a magpie, collecting lost jewelry from the bottom of safekeeping drawers to wear.

It’s weird because literally nothing has changed. We are still the same, just as committed as we were before, but I feel like we’re in this secret club now. It makes absolutely no sense but that’s where my head is at now. I’m still sort of processing but I’m very excited and I’m very happy.

I’m sure I’ll reflect on this more later on, but in the meantime.

FLUFFY VEGAN BLUEBERRY PANCAKES.

Fluffy Vegan Blueberry Pancakes | The Viet Vegan

I don’t think you understand my eternal search for the perfect recipe for vegan blueberry pancakes. I wanted fluffy pancakes with a golden browning that had enough stability to stack but enough tenderness that it would soak up maple syrup and be this delicious, sweet sponge of maple goodness. After countless attempts at various recipes, I finally somehow cracked the secret, and it’s one that is a surprise to most pancake connoisseurs, which is mixing. And not over-mixing specifically.

I go into a little more detail in the YouTube video and you can see exactly what I did, but a super thick and lumpy batter is the secret to these perfect, fluffy, vegan blueberry pancakes. You can also sub the apple cider vinegar with lemon juice and add some lemon zest to make these the blueberry lemon variety, or you can switch up the fruit to raspberry or strawberries instead. Have fun! Eat up. Enjoy some epic blueberry pancakes. :)

Fluffy Vegan Blueberry Pancakes

Prep Time10 minutes mins
Cook Time10 minutes mins
Total Time20 minutes mins
Course: Breakfast
Cuisine: Vegan
Servings: 8 pancakes (2 servings)
Calories: 1869kcal
Author: Lisa Le

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup 315 mL unsweetened soy milk (or other high-protein plant milk)
  • 1 tsp 5 mL apple cider vinegar (regular white vinegar also works)
  • 1 tsp 5 mL vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup 210 g all purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp 16 g white granulated sugar (upon further testing, you can leave this out!)
  • 1 tsp 5 g baking powder (I've reduced this from 2 tsp to 1 tsp from further testing and feedback)
  • 1 tsp 6 g baking soda
  • 1 pinch 1 g salt
  • 2 tbsp 30 mL neutral flavoured vegetable oil (I used sunflower)
  • 1/3 cup 50-60 gfrozen wild blueberries (regular ones are fine too)
  • Vegan butter/margarine for the pan/griddle
  • Maple syrup to serve

Instructions

  • In a bowl/measuring cup, combine soy milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract and combine and let sit to curdle and thicken to make a vegan buttermilk.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar baking powder, baking soda, salt to get rid of any lumps.
  • Pour the soy milk (vegan buttermilk) mixture and oil into the flour mixture and whisk until lumpy but most flour is integrated. Add the frozen blueberries and fold in with a spatula to maintain lumps. DO NOT OVERMIX. Let the batter sit for a few minutes (5 should be fine) to let the leavening agents work their magic.
  • Preheat a griddle to 350F (or a pan to medium heat) and brush an even light coating of the vegan margarine. Add 1/4-1/3 cup blobs of the pancake batter to the griddle. Gently flatten with a back of a spoon/ladle to get the desired shape and even out the batter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges are slightly cooked and bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another minute or two until that side is golden as well.
  • Serve with maple syrup or even some vegan coconut whip if you so choose! Enjoy :)

    I’m really happy for you! It’s weird to be commenting on this in regards to your engagement, but I am truly excited for you. I’ve only been following you for 6 months (maybe?) and I feel as if you’re my vegan mentor/friend. Thank you for making veganism accessible and good luck in your future endeavors (wedding haha).

    P.S. I know this sounds like some sort of farewell letter but I’ll still be here, waiting for more delicious recipes!

    Congratulations to you both, that’s awesome. I would say pay as much as you want to pay and invite who you want to invite; it’s YOUR day! Yeah some people might get momentarily upset but they do get over it ? I speak from experience of only inviting 7 people ? Remember ” those that matter don’t mind and those that mind don’t matter”. Thanks for this yummy recipe!!

    Congratulations! I just got married last October (also after a planned but still surprise engagement) and I remember the daunting feelings I had when I started getting into wedding planning.
    The best resource I found was A Practical Wedding. Don’t bother with the book and planner, the website is a great resource. Reading the planning articles and the “Real wedding” examples helped me think outside the box and to have a sense of what really mattered to me and what didn’t. I also spent some time on the wedding planning subreddit, which was surprisingly supportive and informative.

      I also wanted to add that Offbeat Bride is a good resource if you want to do something unconventionally. There are a lot of unique ideas there that I would never come up with on my own.

      I made over 30 google docs/sheets to organize different aspects of the wedding and keep people informed of things. A Practical Wedding has some sheets you can use, and google sheets itself actually has a wedding planning sheet template that’s great, but I honestly made all of my own because I love that stuff.

    Wow! Firstly many congratulations to you both! I got married last October after 3 months of planning ?. We had a potluck reception which meant we could invite loads more friends than we could for a sit down meal and we got some amazing food. I look forward to seeing your planning. Secondly I have to try these pancakes they look amazing and it will make a change from the peanut butter and maple pancakes that we are becoming addicted to!! Best wishes

    Thank you so much for making a vegan pancake that actually tastes really good! They were a little sweet for my taste, I might try using a bit less sugar next time, but I was really in the mood for pancakes and these were perfect. Gave some to my mom and her exact words were, “Those were really good! Hard to believe they’re vegan!” So thank you!!

    Just wanted to thank you PROFUSELY for this beautiful recipe, Lisa! It’s perfect and we’ve been making them literally every weekend since you posted it because they are Y U M. I wanna make a huge batch of the batter to make for my fam before we head out on a trip, do you think the batter will survive overnight in the fridge??

      Hi Adisa! Sorry for the late reply. I believe it’d be better if you had the dry ingredients mixed separately ahead of time, and combine the wet & dry just before making them. The baking soda may lose some of its efficacy if it sits too long in the batter so you won’t get as much fluffiness.

    Lisa, you have cracked the code! I have confirmed that this is an EPIC recipe for fluffy vegan blueberry pancakes. I also tried the pancakes with raspberries as well as a blueberry / raspberry combo and they are outstanding. These also reheat really well, so I make extras to reheat in the toaster oven. They come out like right off the griddle.

    Seriously, I had to go on a diet after finding this recipe, since I started eating them every day!

    Thanks for the recipe and congrats on your engagement!

      Hi Ruba! You could, but most olive oil has a strong flavour that might not mesh well. Using a neutral flavoured liquid oil would be better :)

    This is my go-to pancake recipe and today I decided to add some ube and it was amazing! I had to add a little more flower since the rehydrated ube powder added a decent amount of liquid but they were still so fluffy and delicious. They were especially good with a squeeze of lemon on top!

    I’m wondering if it’s very necessary to use a high protein milk and why? I currently only have coconut/almond milk and it only has 1g of protein but i really want to make this. Will it turn out okay?

    Reply
    • Lisa Le says

      November 26, 2019 at 3:56 PM

      Hi Paola! I find the higher protein gives it a bit more substance and helps curdle a bit better. I think you could try almond milk but it wouldn’t be quite as rich. I think it would be ok with coconut though?

    Hey Lisa! Do you happen to have the macros for this recipe? I’m restarting my training so I’m adapting your recipe to make protein pancakes (with the addition of protein powder). Would be helpful to have the macros. No worries if you don’t have them, I’ll sort something out. Cheers.
