What better way to celebrate Pancake Day than with a juicy stack of pancakes! And if made right, they're also the perfect post-workout meal. We caught up with instructor and vegan 'chef' Sophie Thorpe to bring you two of her favourite Pancake recipes.

Both are vegan and free from refined sugar BUT you wouldn't know it, they're PACKED full of flavour, sweetness and the toppings makes them extra nutritious. 

 

Tropical Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 cup plant milk⁠ - we love all Plenish milks (Digme members get 20% OFF here)

1 tsp apple cider vinegar⁠

1 cup self raising flour (you could use half SR / half buckwheat or spelt)⁠

1 tsp baking powder⁠

1 tsp bicarb of soda⁠

1 tbsp melted coconut oil⁠

1 tsp vanilla⁠

⁠

For the toppings:⁠

Mango⁠

Banana⁠

Coconut flakes⁠

Maple syrup ⁠

Blueberries⁠

Passionfruit⁠

- Whisk the apple cider vinegar and plant milk together then leave for 10 mins. This makes vegan buttermilk.

- Add the melted coconut oil and the vanilla to the buttermilk.⁠

- Mix the flour, baking powder and bicarb of soda together.⁠

- Add wet ingredients to dry and mix till just combined.⁠

- Pour some of the batter into an oiled pan and cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side.⁠

- The mixture should make 4 large pancakes.⁠

- Put all your toppings on and you're good to go – yum!
