  • 4 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed, or apple cider vinegar

Pancakes

  • 6 tbsp aquafaba
  • 2 cups ‘buttermilk’

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups pastry flour, whole wheat or gluten-free
  • 2 tbsp date sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder

  1. In a bowl, combine almond milk and lemon juice.
  2. Set bowl aside for 10 minutes.

Pancakes

  1. Place aquafaba in a separate bowl and whisk until frothy.
  2. Add buttermilk, applesauce and vanilla and continue to mix.
  3. Add the flour, date sugar, baking powder, and baking soda; whisk until blended.
