Veganize this: Pancakes

I haven't posted in a while due to being on holidays (yes i know, my life is so hard). But today I made vegan pancakes for my boyfriend's omni family and thought I would share! I adapted this recipe from an omni one a while ago and don't know the original link.

375ml (1 1/2 cups) dairy free milk (rice, soy, oat, almond, etc)
2 teaspoons (10ml) lemon juice
17.5g (1 tablespoon) sugar

a pinch of salt
225g (1 1/2 cups) self-raising flour
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (aka baking soda)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (or any desired egg replacement)

3 tablespoons of water

30g (1 1/2 tablespoons) oil
oil for greasing pan

Place milk, lemon juice and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir to combine, and then set aside for five minutes. Add water to chia seeds and set aside.

Stir or whisk self-raising flour and bicarbonate of soda together in a large bowl until combined and add salt.

Add chia seeds and melted oil to the milk mixture. Whisk the mixture until the seeds have combined with the milk (the oil  will probably just float on the surface).

Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until almost smooth. Leave batter to stand while the pan is preheating (at least two minutes).

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, lightly grease it with oil. Stir again quickly before pouring onto pan, cook until bubbles appear and pop on surface of pancake, then flip. The pancake is done when lightly brown on both sides.

And there you have it. Enjoy it with maple syrup and vegan ice cream, jam, coconut cream, lemon and sugar or whatever you desire! 

If you're wondering why even bother making vegan pancakes, then consider that livestock (meat and dairy industries) are the leading cause of climate change. Every carton of dairy milk we don't buy is a vote with our dollars towards more sustainable milk choices. You can even save money by making your own!
