20 of the Best Vegan Pancake Recipes Recipe

If you’re new to a vegan diet, breakfast can be the trickiest meal to keep interesting. Even those of us who have been plant-based for years still find themselves in a breakfast rut once in a while.

Personally, I find myself alternating between avocado toast and oatmeal with berries, depending on what’s on sale. One of my goals this summer is to wake up a bit earlier and start incorporating more of the delicious breakfast recipes into my mornings.

While I typically don’t like spending more than five minutes on breakfast during the week, I allow myself to sip my coffee and linger in the kitchen a bit longer on Saturdays and Sundays. This is when I get fancy and make a tofu scramble, vegan chilaquiles, or one of my favorite vegan pancake recipes.

Making pancakes at home is completely worth your time and effort for a few reasons. First, most (if not all) of the pancakes on traditional diner menus use batter made with egg and milk and come with a pad of butter on top. Not exactly vegan-friendly.

At home, you can get the same great restaurant quality and taste with plant-based ingredients. You can make your pancakes as healthy or indulgent as you want, and you can eat them in your pajamas. It doesn’t get much better than that!

In the robust pancake round-up below, we’ve got all of your dietary needs and flavor cravings covered. There’s gluten-free, oil-free, and sugar-free, pancakes made with sweet potato, and even whiskey pancakes! Buckle up; this is going to get wild.
