Pancake Topping Ideas

The pancake toppings are the best part of this whole pancake business aren’t they? Besides the fluffy, doughy pillows they sit on, I guess.

I topped these fluffy vegan pancakes with a generous serving of thawed, frozen blueberries that I heated up stovetop, a sprinkle of shredded coconut and a drizzle of melted peanut butter.

Here are some more pancake topping ideas:

  • toasted coconut flakes
  • homemade chocolate sauce: mix together a small amount of coconut oil, cocoa powder and sweetener of choice such as pure maple syrup
  • date caramel sauce: soak dates in hot water for 15 minutes then drain and blend with some light coconut milk, vanilla and sea salt
  • chopped nuts
  • apples and cinnamon: sauté sliced apples with cinnamon in a little coconut oil until soft and tender
  • pure maple syrup
  • fresh or caramelized bananas: sauté sliced bananas in coconut oil until they caramelize
  • sweet tahini sauce: mix tahini with some pure maple syrup
  • coconut butter or nectar
  • dairy-free chocolate chips – or bake these right into the pancakes!

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Mix together the flour, baking powder, sea salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
  2. Add the unsweetened almond milk and maple syrup and stir until “just mixed.”
  3. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes. While you wait, heat a pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Lightly oil the pan or spray it with a little non-stick cooking spray then scoop the batter into the pan in 1/4-1/2 cup portions.
  5. Once there are a few bubbles in the middle and they look cooked around the edges, flip and cook for a couple more minutes on the other side.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe is pretty easy to eye-ball. I make it all the time with a big scoop of flour, a spoonful of baking powder, pinch of salt, stevia and enough water to form a thick batter. It makes amazing, perfect, super light fluffy vegan pancakes every time!
  • For best results, make sure you active baking powder. If you’re unsure if your baking powder is still good, you can test it by by mixing 1 teaspoon of baking powder with 1/3 cup hot water. If the baking powder is fresh, the mixture should produce lots of bubbles.
