Fluffy Vegan Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes

Fluffy Vegan Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes
This tall stack of fluffy pancakes, that has been lovingly kissed with extra cinnamon. Generously soaked in maple syrup and melted Earth Balance butter, will be impossible to resist.
The first step in this recipe is to create a vegan buttermilk. Classic buttermilk is simply cultured milk, easily made by adding 1 Tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk, then stirring till tiny curdles form. Pretty easy, and pretty easy to veganize by simply swapping out the “milk” for a plant based milk, I prefer soy. The buttermilk adds a richness and tanginess, that pairs perfectly with the light and airy texture of the pancake. The airy texture is achieved by the addition of aquafaba, if you are unfamiliar with aquafaba, it is the liquid that is usually discarded when you open a can of beans. Most popular; chickpea liquid, due to its subtle flavor and clear liquid. This liquid contains a lot of the same characteristics as an egg white, and takes away any issues of heaviness or sweetness that other “egg replacers” create. This protien rich liquid has become the holy grail in vegan baking, 3 tablespoons of the aquafaba liquid equals 1 egg.

*Instead of cracking open a can of beans every time you need an egg, freeze the liquid in 3 tablespoon portions, and defrost when needed. You can also save cans and money by cooking beans at home in big batches and saving the liquid.

Although these buttermilk pancakes are light and fluffy, they are not too delicate to hold up to a good drizzling of 100% maple syrup! Top with your favorite vegan butter, or fresh fruit, and enjoy the awesomeness these pancakes will bring into your life !
