By Rissa Miller, Senior Editor Vegetarian Journal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1-1\/2 cups vegan-friendly pancake mix (such as Arrowhead Mills,\nBisquick, Aunt Jemima, or Bob\u2019s Red Mill – check individual packages; Bisquick\nused in this recipe)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\/3 cup rolled or old fashioned oats<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Tablespoon arrowroot powder or cornstarch<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed meal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon cinnamon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon ground ginger<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/2 teaspoon garam masala (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinch ground clove<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinch nutmeg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinch ground allspice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinch ground pepper (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wet:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1-2\/3 cups unsweetened unflavored vegan milk (soy and oat\ntested well; other types not tested)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Tablespoons unsweetened applesauce<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zest of one orange<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-3 Tablespoons of canola oil or vegan margarine, to prepare<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.\nAdd all wet ingredients except for canola oil\/maragarine. Stir with a whisk or\nwooden spoon until just mixed. The pancake batter should be runny but not thin.\nIf it’s thick or chunk, add more vegan milk by the Tablespoon to get to a\nsmooth consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat a large pan or griddle to medium heat. Coat with\nsome canola oil or vegan margarine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scoop out 1\/4 cup portions of batter onto the hot\npan\/griddle. Pancakes will spread to be approximately 5-6 inches in diameter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook on the first side until the pancake is bubbly and edges\nstart to look done, then flip and cook on the second side about 2 more minutes\n(time may vary depending on your stove’s heat settings). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat with all batter, occasionally adding more canola\noil\/margarine as needed. Serve warm with Marmalade Syrup (below) or maple syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marmalade Syrup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup maple syrup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/4 cup marmalade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a saucepan love low heat, gentle warm 1 cup of maple\nsyrup and 1\/4 cup of jarred marmalade. Stir frequently and do not allow to\nboil. As soon as the marmalade has melted and infused into the syrup, remove\nfrom heat and serve warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
