This healthy pancake recipe is made with whole wheat flour and rolled oats, and it's perfect for breakfast any day of the week. Pancakes taste so much better when you make then from scratch rather than with a mix!

Multigrain Pancakes

It may sound shocking, but I’m not that into pancakes. They get soggy too quickly, and I feel like I’m left with a plate of paste. I often find that I’m super hungry an hour or two later when I have them for breakfast I can handle them in small doses along with something savory, like a little bit of tofu scramble and some hash browns, but I don’t really like to have them as my breakfast main dish.

Dennis, however, loves pancakes. If he had his way, he’d have pancakes for breakfast every day. I’ve caught him making small pancakes for snacks, too.

Dennis’s birthday is Christmas Eve, which is kind of a bad day for birthdays. I always get up early and make him a big breakfast, to give the day a yummy start. In the past, I’ve made Biscuits and Gravy Breakfast Sandwiches and Breakfast Pizza.

Last year, because he loves them so much, I made pancakes. Not just any pancakes – vegan Multigrain Pancakes with Almond Butter Drizzle. I served them with fresh fruit, veggie sausages, and slices of cheesy tofu.

This recipe is a vegan adaptation of an omnivore dish I came across in Cooking Light magazine a few years ago.

Clabbering Almond Milk

Clabbered almond milk (or soy milk) is the first step in this recipe. Clabbering thickens and curdles milk, giving it a buttermilk-like consistency.

To make clabbered milk, you just need to add vinegar to almond or soy milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will look curdled, which is what you want. This won't work as well with other non-dairy milks, so make sure you use either almond or soy.

How to Make Multigrain Pancakes

• To make this recipe, first you mix non-dairy milk with apple cider vinegar to clabber – it will curdle and sour, giving it the appearance of buttermilk. 
• You then add rolled oats to the milk to mixture to soften them. 
• Then, you mix whole wheat flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, water and ground flaxseeds. 
• You then mix in the oat-milk mixture. 
• Then you cook the batter in a hot pan or griddle, until it cooks up to fluffy pancakes.

Serving Your Pancakes

These multigrain pancakes are topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle that’s made with almond butter, maple syrup, and water. The drizzle is really the star of the recipe!

Ingredients

  

• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons almond or soy milk
• 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• ⅔ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons warm water divided
• ¼ cup almond butter
• 2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups fresh fruit

Instructions

 

• Whisk the almond or soy milk together with the apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and then combine the clabbered milk with the oats in a medium bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup warm water, almond butter, and maple syrup to make the almond butter drizzle. Whisk until smooth. Set aside until the pancakes are ready.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
• Mix together the remaining 3 tablespoons of warm water and the ground flaxseeds.
• Add the milk–oat mixture, the flax mixture, and the vanilla to the flour mixture, stirring until just combined.
• Heat a large griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon ½ cup of the batter onto the griddle and cook until the edges look dry, about 2 or 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter. Cover the pancakes so they stay hot while the rest are cooking.
• Serve drizzled with the almond butter sauce and garnished with fresh fruit.
