INGREDIENTS

Pancakes

• 75 grams / 1/3 cup silken tofu (I use Clear spring)
• 1 Medjool date, pitted
• squeeze of lemon or lime
• 180 ml / ¾ cup soy milk (or other plant milk)
• 6 g / 1 tbsp ground flax seeds
• 60 g / ½ cup buckwheat flour*
• 65 g / 2/3 cup oat flour*
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• scant ½ tsp baking soda
• pinch of salt

Toppings

• seasonal fruit: I used blackberries, cherries, peaches
• vegan yoghurt
• nuts of choice
• maple syrup

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a small mixing bowl—do I make it—combine the tofu seasoning, date lemon juice, soy milk, and ground flax, mixing on high until the mixture is smooth. Let it sit for ten minutes.
2. In the bowl of a cake mixer, combine dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
3. Stir the water side and add another tablespoon or two of water to the mixture if needed. The batter may be firm, but it can still roll and slide off the spoon easily.
4. In order to prevent the pancakes from browning before they are cooked, it is important to heat a non-stick pan on the stove. However, it is important to avoid overheating the pan. It is possible that you should use a medium-low heat.
5. While the pan is hot, brush with a little oil. Pour a quarter cup of batter (or a quarter cup of batter for smaller pancakes) into each pancake. I want you to fix these yourself, but you are not required to do so.
6. Leave the dish undisturbed for about three minutes or until small bubbles form and burst on the surface, then flip and cook the second side for a minute. Place on drying rack to cool. Controlling the temperature is important because the hotter the pan, the faster the pancakes will cook. If necessary, reduce heat and/or cook briefly.
7. To serve, garnish with seasonal berries, vegan yogurt, and other fruits of your choice, and a splash of maple syrup if desired.

Tips for Perfect Tofu Pancakes

• Texture is important: Silky tofu will give you a smooth batter, while firm tofu will give you a bit of texture. Choose based on your preferences.
• Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a little more dairy-free milk. If it is too thin, add little more flour.
• Variety of flavors: feel free to add cinnamon, nutmeg, or walnuts to the batter for flavor.
