This Vegan Avocado Pancake Recipe is the Perfect Brunch Meal

After eating an arguably obsessive amount of avocado toast, I decided that it was time for a change. The luscious and creamy taste of an avocado spread over a perfectly toasted piece of bread creates an amazing savory treat; however, I’m not always in the mood for a savory breakfast. In an effort to satisfy my incessant consumption of avocados, I decided to create this vegan avocado pancake recipe to meet any avocado fanatic’s needs. Topped with a delicious strawberry compote, these pancakes can make any morning great!

This recipe makes about 5 to 6 pancakes and can be adjusted to suit anyone’s preference. For fluffier pancakes, omit 1/4 cup of milk as written on the recipe; similarly, for thinner pancakes, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk. If desired, add one teaspoon of matcha powder or a few drops of green food coloring to enhance the color.

Vegan Avocado Pancake Recipe with Strawberry Compote

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 5 minutesCook time: 20 minutesTotal time: 25 minutesServings:6 servings

Ingredients

• For the strawberry compote:
• 1 cup strawberries
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the pancakes:
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk alternative
• 1/2 cup mashed avocado
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. 
   

   Make the compote:

   In a small sauce pot, cook the strawberry compote ingredients over medium heat while making the pancakes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat once the mixture has boiled for a few minutes and thickened.

2. 
   

   Make the pancakes:

   Heat a pan over medium-low heat

3. 
   

   In a blender, add all of the ingredients for the pancakes and blend on high-speed until it just comes together.

   #SpoonTip: Mashing the avocado before blending ensures that there is not any chunks of avocado in the batter.

4. 
   

   Lightly grease the pan and pour approximately 1/3 cup of pancake batter.

5. 
   

   Flip the pancakes after about 2-3 minutes, or when the top feels dry to the touch. Cook the pancake for one more minute. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the rest of the batter.

   #SpoonTip: Preheat the oven to 200°F and place the finished pancakes inside the oven on a cookie sheet, this will keep all of the pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batter.

6. 
   

   Serve pancakes immediately and top with strawberry compote, and other desired toppings. Enjoy!
