When I became a vegetarian, one of the hardest transitions for me was my adjusting to new breakfast menu options. I always had eggs in the morning, but now that I am moving out of that phase and limiting my consumption of eggs, I decided to go on the hunt for a super simple vegan pancake recipe that did not require fancy ingredients like flax eggs and such.

I have made this recipe three times now, each time changing a few ingredients or the portion size. The second time I doubled the recipe and had so many pancakes, which made my stomach happy. This time, I used sugar-free maple syrup which did not go well, so I recommend sticking to sugar or natural maple syrup.

These pancakes will come out fluffier than restaurant quality pancakes and all in the comfort of your own home.
