Blueberry Lemon Vegan Gluten-Free Pancakes
Vegan and gluten-free pancakes have been a challenge for me. After many attempts to make pancakes, I found that more often than not the result was a goopy, gluey, flat, and inedible thing. I tried multiple recipes, flours, and mixtures of baking soda, baking powder, etc. I attempted to read on a deeper level about the chemistry behind how and what to do – I am not science-minded, so that wasn’t the answer. So the only other answer was to keep trying, mixing things the same way, a little bit differently, adding a new flour, more of this, less of that, you get the drill. On occasion, I made an edible pancake and was starting to think it was time to say goodbye to pancakes altogether.
But today I woke up thinking how great a nice pancake breakfast would be and was determined to try again.
Exciting news – the result a yummy pancake!
