How to Cook Pancakes
Preheat Skillet or griddle on medium heat- drop some water on skillet to insure its hot – water should bead.
Use a little spray oil or butter. Put pancake batter on skillet and cook until golden, flip and repeat.
Oil Free Pancakes:
Preheat skillet to medium on large element of stove or preheat the electric skillet to 375F. Do the water test. Pour pancake batter onto the preheated pan, and then flip when the top has bubbles evenly across it. You may leave the oil out of the recipe as well. If pancake sticks and burns, lower the heat. If the pancake sticks and seems to take too long, raise the heat. Once you’ve found the ‘correct’ setting, it’s simple for next time!

Vegan French Toast Recipe
Ingredients
-
1 heaping Tbsp chia seeds (whole or ground into a fine meal so they’re undetectable)
-
1/2 Tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup (or sub honey if not vegan)
-
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
-
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
4-5 slices bread (it’s important to use a sturdy, rustic bread or it can turn out soggy/soft)
Instructions
-
Mix all ingredients except the bread in a large, shallow bowl. Place in the fridge to activate for 10-20 minutes.
-
Preheat griddle to medium heat (~350 degrees F / 176 C) and grease with spray coconut oil.
-
Dip each slice of bread in the batter for about 20 seconds on each side (If your batter is too thick, thin with a bit of dairy-free milk). If your bread is dry, leave it in a little longer. If you're using sandwich bread, it should only need 25-30 seconds total to soak.
-
Place on griddle and cook until golden brown on the underside. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden brown as well – 3-4 minutes.
