When it comes to breakfast, there's no reason to skimp just because you are vegetarian or vegan! Apple pecan pancakes, prepared with soy milk and a bit of tofu, are healthy, high in protien and fiber and, of course, taste absolutely scrumptious. This recipe for apple pecan pancakes is both vegetarian and vegan.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups soy milk
- 1/2 cup soft (silken) tofu
- 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 apples, chopped
- 1/3 cup pecans, chopped
- oil for frying
Preparation:
In a blender or food processor, pulse together all ingredients except pecans until apples are minced and ingredients are blended. Alternatively, you can finely chop the apples by hand and mix together the ingredients.
Gently fold in the pecans.
Drop by large spoonfuls onto a lightly oiled skillet or griddle and cook for a few minutes, until bubbles appear. Flip and cook until both sides are lightly golden brown.
