What is a vegan pancake?

A vegan pancake is a delicious and plant-based breakfast option made without any animal products. This means they contain no eggs, milk, or butter. Instead, they are typically made using ingredients like plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk), flour, baking powder, and sometimes fruit or vegetables for added flavour and nutrients, as found in a study published in the journal Foods. Vegan pancake can be just as fluffy and flavourful as traditional pancakes, and they offer environmentally friendly alternatives for those following a vegan diet or simply looking to reduce their animal product consumption.
