This Vegan Avocado Pancake Recipe is the Perfect Brunch Meal

After eating an arguably obsessive amount of avocado toast, I decided that it was time for a change. The luscious and creamy taste of an avocado spread over a perfectly toasted piece of bread creates an amazing savory treat; however, I'm not always in the mood for a savory breakfast. In an effort to satisfy my incessant consumption of avocados, I decided to create this vegan avocado pancake recipe to meet any avocado fanatic's needs. Topped with a delicious strawberry compote, these pancakes can make any morning great!

This recipe makes about 5 to 6 pancakes and can be adjusted to suit anyone's preference. For fluffier pancakes, omit 1/4 cup of milk as written on the recipe; similarly, for thinner pancakes, add an extra 1/4 cup of milk. If desired, add one teaspoon of matcha powder or a few drops of green food coloring to enhance the color.

Vegan Avocado Pancake Recipe with Strawberry Compote

• Prep Time:5 mins
• Cook Time:20 mins
• Total Time:25 mins
• Servings:6
• Easy

Ingredients

• For the strawberry compote:
• 1 cup strawberries
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the pancakes:
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk alternative
• 1/2 cup mashed avocado
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• Step 1

  Make the compote:
  In a small sauce pot, cook the strawberry compote ingredients over medium heat while making the pancakes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat once the mixture has boiled for a few minutes and thickened.

  

• Step 2

  Make the pancakes:
  Heat a pan over medium-low heat

  

• Step 3

  In a blender, add all of the ingredients for the pancakes and blend on high-speed until it just comes together.
  
  #SpoonTip: Mashing the avocado before blending ensures that there is not any chunks of avocado in the batter.

  

• Step 4

  Lightly grease the pan and pour approximately 1/3 cup of pancake batter.

  

• Step 5

  Flip the pancakes after about 2-3 minutes, or when the top feels dry to the touch. Cook the pancake for one more minute. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the rest of the batter.
  
  #SpoonTip: Preheat the oven to 200°F and place the finished pancakes inside the oven on a cookie sheet, this will keep all of the pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batter.

  

• Step 6

  Serve pancakes immediately and top with strawberry compote, and other desired toppings. Enjoy!
