Coconut No Sugars drink and coconut alternative to yogurt are paired up with buckwheat flour to produce deliciously different, 100% plant-based pancakes
Serves 4
Ingredients
For the pancakes
- 200ml Alpro Plain with Coconut alternative to yogurt*
- 150 – 200ml Alpro Coconut No Sugars Drink*
- 250g buckwheat flour
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Toppings
- 12 tbsp Alpro Plain with Coconut alternative to yogurt*
- 8 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Method
-
In a bowl mix the buckwheat flour, salt, and baking powder. In another bowl, mash the banana and mix with the Alpro Plain with Coconut alternative to yogurt and the Coconut No Sugars drink.
Combine the wet and dry mixtures and blend until you have a nice, smooth batter. If it’s too thick, just splash in a little more Coconut drink. - Next, heat up some vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Ladle in 1 heaped tablespoon batter into the heated pan and repeat according to how many you can fit in your pan. The batter will begin to bubble after about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1- 2 minutes until browned on the underside. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm until serving. Carry on until you’ve used all your batter.
- Serve each stack topped with the Alpro Plain with Coconut and pomegranate seeds.
* Alpro products are very versatile. Try their Almond, Oat or Soya No Sugars drinks, or Plain alternative to yogurt, for a different taste sensation.
