These vegan fluffy pancakes are beefed-up, vegan American-style pancakes, with no dairy or eggs. And they tick all the boxes you’d want fluffy pancakes to tick, tasting amazing and with a texture to rival any classic recipe.

This recipe uses soya milk and a touch of arrowroot helps the batter bind. The pancakes are fried with a little soya margarine and, once cooked, they’re wonderful topped with maple syrup.
If you’d like to make these delicious vegan fluffy pancakes for yourself, here’s what to do.
Ingredients
- 300g (10.5 oz) plain flour
- 8g (1½ tsp) arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 500ml (17 fl oz) sweetened soya milk
- 1 tbsp soya margarine, plus more to fry if needed
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- a few tbsp of your favourite syrup
Instructions
Mix the flour, arrowroot and baking powder in a large bowl.


Whisk in the milk bit by bit to avoid lumps.


Melt the margarine in a large, nonstick frying pan, then pour it into the batter and mix well.

Whisk in the bicarb.


Heat the pan to a medium-high heat, and cook the pancakes with about 60ml (2 fl oz) per pancake.
They’ll only need around 45 seconds so that they just begin to bubble on top – they should still be quite liquid on top when you flip them to ensure they rise well. Flip over, cook for another 30 seconds then transfer to a plate, stacking as you go.

When all the vegan fluffy pancakes are cooked, drizzle with syrup and serve.
