FAQs

Why do my vegan pancakes fall apart? ›

Overmixing the batter

Overmixing the batter is probably the number one reason why your vegan pancakes are gummy. When it comes to pancakes, you want the batter to be slightly lumpy. If you mix the batter too much, you knock all of the air bubbles out and your pancakes won't rise very well, resulting in a gummy texture.

Why are my vegan pancakes sticking to the pan? In order to prevent the pancakes from sticking to the cooking surface, it is important to grease it properly using non-stick cooking spray, vegan butter, or your favorite cooking oil such as olive oil or avocado oil.

Can vegans eat pancakes? If the pancakes don't contain animal products, then yes, vegans can eat them. The great majority of pancakes around the world, however, are not vegan-friendly. Vegans need to confirm the ingredients to ensure their meal is completely plant-based.

Vegan pancakes replace animal products—like milk, butter, and eggs—that are typically found in regular pancakes with ingredients not derived from animals. Use this simple vegan pancake recipe and follow tips for making vegan pancakes fluffy.

The trick to keeping the pancakes from falling apart is to keep them small, with about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Smaller pancakes are easier to flip and they'll cook quicker. Wait until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry.

A common culprit with messy pancakes is a batter that is too thin. If your batter has too much liquid, it won't have enough structure to hold together during cooking and will run all over the pan when flipped. You can address this by simply adding more flour to your batter.

A little bit of oil, butter, or nonstick cooking spray should be used on the pan so your pancakes don't stick. Even if you're using a nonstick pan, you should still use a little grease. Don't let the grease burn in the pan.

This can be caused by not using the right egg replacer. Over mixing batter is another reason which causes over development of the gluten and a dense result. If your oven isn't heated to the correct temperature before you put your cake in, it can cause it to not bake properly.

The bottom line. Most types of peanut butter are free of animal products and can be enjoyed as part of a vegan diet. However, some varieties are made in facilities that also process animal products or contain refined sugar that was produced using bone char or non-vegan ingredients like honey or fish oil.

Is maple syrup OK for vegans? ›

Yes, pure maple syrup that's made without any additives is completely vegan. Make sure to check the label of the bottle to confirm that it's certified as vegan, as some lower-quality versions will be mixed with non-vegan ingredients like honey or refined sugar.

2. Aunt Jemima & Bisquick. Most Aunt Jemima's mixes call for a heavy amount of dairy and eggs. However, it does have two accidental vegan mixes called the Original Pancake and the Whole Wheat Pancake Mix.

A vegan diet is only as healthy as you make it. Products like "vegan" ice cream, cookies, and candy are tempting, but don't overdo them. If you eat high-fat and processed foods in large portions, you may end up with many of the same health problems you'd have on a meat-based diet.

Traditionally no, waffles aren't vegan-friendly because their batter contains eggs and sometimes milk too. However, it's more than possible to create delicious plant-based waffles easily.

If the batter is too thin, or you have used insufficient eggs then you may find that your pancakes break up easily.

Baking a vegan cake for too long or at too high a temperature can cause crumbling. You can test if your cake is ready by inserting a toothpick through the centre. If it comes out with batter on it then the cake needs to be baked a little bit longer. Make sure to check on it often.

Similar to what happens when you cook a burger if you don't out a divot in it, the outside cooks quicker, moves inward and the top and bottom ball up/down. The only way I could think is by either cooking at a lower temperature or thinning out the batter a bit might also work.
