Some things just shouldn’t be a luxury. Some things are an absolute necessity.
Spending too much money at Target, for example. Sometimes… (you know it’s true) that’s a total necessity.
Hot bath plus cold beer. You need it. I need it. Necessity.
A super comfortable dress that shows a little shoulder. Everyone loves a little shoulder.
A girlfriend you can talk about your lady parts with. Yes, I said lady parts. Please don’t under estimate this necessity.
Aaaaand, last but not least… a little pancake love on a weekday morning. Do it.
This recipe is super simple and straight forward. It’s bound to put a smile on your face. The recipe yields 12 silver dollar pancakes… minis, if you will. It’s the perfect little breakfast to throw together for just you, or for you and your sweetie on a dirty old Wednesday morning. Give it a go!
Vegan Jam Swirled Pancakes
makes 12 silver dollar pancakes
2 1/2 Tablespoons sunflower or almond oil
1/2 cup soy milk, almond milk, rice milk or water
splash of vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
2 generous spoonfuls of your favorite jam, plus more for topping the pancakes
Preheat oven to 2oo degrees F to keep the pancakes warm once they’re cooked.
In a small bowl, combine milk or water, oil and vanilla extract. In a medium sized bowl combine flours, sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt. Whisk with a fork to combine. Add the wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir to combine. It’s ok if a few lumps remain in the batter.
Let the batter sit for five or so minutes while the griddle heats up. Heat 1 Tablespoon of sunflower or almond oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once the batter has rested, fold in two generous spoonfuls of your favorite jam, swirling into the batter, and drop generous tablespoonfuls of batter onto heated griddle. Cook until bubbles form along the edges. Flip. Cook until browned. Add more oil to the pan as needed and cook remaining batter.
Once cooked, place on a plate in the heated oven until ready to serve. When ready to serve, spread with more jam or top with maple syrup.

hi Joy, I’ve been sick for two days now and my stomach is very sensitive. I woke up this morning ravenous but afraid to eat. Nothing sounded good…except carbs…but I was too lazy to make bread or muffins. I know they don’t take long, but I just wanted something with little effort, no eggs, no butter, no oil…nothing heavy.
I’m not big on pancakes, but as I was browsing through your breakfast stuff, I thought these vegan pancakes sounded like exactly what I needed. They’re quick carbs that are light on my stomach…nothing in them to hurt my tummy. And they tasted wonderfully.
What’s weird is my honey (who doesn’t like pancakes) was hoping to try one but silly me…I ate them all. I had no idea he would even be interested but he said they smelled so good and he wanted a sample.
So…I’m making them again tomorrow…a double batch. :) Thanks so much for the recipe. It’s perfect! :)
These are so yummy. I have made them every weekend for the last few weeks. They are so quick to make and delicious with a cup of tea. My one-year old even enjoys them! Thanks for a great vegan recipe.
Joy, You’ve just made my morning! These are wonderful ;-p And I think you are incredibly clever! I’ve tried making vegan waffles and failed so far- they were edible but not delicious. THESE are delicious! And I never would have thought to put jam in pancakes- good call! I usually don’t eat pancakes without heaps of jam or maple syrup on top but these are good enough to eat plain. I’d even serve them to other people and not tell them that the pancakes are vegan; I don’t think they’d know! So happy I found your site :) Thank you for sharing!
I’ve been checking out all your vegan recipes after seeing the vegan chocolate cookies post. I.love.your.blog…and I’m making these, probably tomorrow. Or tonight. O.O
I’ve made these two days in a row now. Today I did it without the jam, and they were just as delicious. My boyfriend can’t believe how good they turned out, because I’ve never been able to make a good pancake. >.< He also can't believe they're vegan. I used coconut milk for mine, and instead of using 2 tbl of wheat flour I just use an extra 2 tbl of regular flour. So easy and so perfect every time, thanks for sharing! I have a feeling I'm going to make these for my family.
Oh woowwww!! These are absolutely wonderful! Yesterday I took my one year old baby to the allergist she is allergic to eggs, milk, and peanuts…. Its so amazing to have such a great recipe that she can eat!!! She is literally licking her fingers right now lol!! Thank you sooo much Joy lots of love ur way :)))
I’m not vegan, I just tried these because I had everything which needed to be in it. You said it was for one, maybe two, well I just gave it a go for me alone. Way too much, I was half way and I already felt really full. Too bad, a little bit for the garbage, next time I’ll make half. But they sure were delicious!
