These rich yet fluffy vegan butternut squash pancakes are the only healthy pancakes you’ll need this season. Rich in fibre (thanks to barley flour), these nutritious pancakes will keep little and big tummies full for much longer. Deliciously healthy breakfast/brunch without the compromise on the flavours.

Vegan Butternut Squash Pancakes

This is it. I’ve done it! My best yet butternut squash pancakes… If I could recommend re-creating just one pancake recipe from my food blog, it has to be this one (although these peanut butter & banana pancakes and my daughter’s favourite ‘carrot cake’ pancakes taste ah-mazing too!)

I made these vegan butternut squash pancakes in a bit of a rush, so I wasn’t very hopeful about the recipe turning out as well as it did. But oh Lord, I couldn’t get over just how good they panned out!

WHAT ARE THESE BUTTERNUT SQUASH PANCAKES MADE OF?

In this recipe I used leftover roasted squash (which I roasted with a dash of olive oil). My guess is that steamed or boiled squash should work too, however it might slightly affect the overall flavour and texture of the pancakes, so you have to watch out for extra water if you’re using steamed or boiled butternut squash.

If you’re not a big lover of squash, how about replacing it with pumpkin? It will work well in this recipe too.

Vegan Butternut Squash Pancakes

Just one note on getting these pancakes right – make sure you have a good quality non-stick frying pan. The last thing you want is for the pancake batter to stick to the bottom of the pan and all your effort will be ruined. Personally, I love using this pan for my pancakes.

When it comes to pancake toppings, you can go as wild as you like (no judging here!) I decided to serve mine with a little fresh fruit, flaked almonds & maple syrup as I didn’t want to take away from the beautiful autumnal and spicy flavours of the squash pancakes.

Prep Time 5 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Course Breakfast, brunch
Cuisine British

Ingredients
  

  • 1 chia egg 1tbsp ground chia seeds mixed in with 3tbsp water
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ½ tsp apple cider vinegar ACV
  • 1 cup barley flour you can use wholemeal flour too
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp arrowroot powder
  • ½ cup roasted pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
  • Coconut oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • To prepare a chia egg, whisk 1tbsp ground chia seeds with 3tbsp water until well combined. Set aside to allow the mixture to get to gel-like consistency.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the vinegar & almond milk and set aside to allow the mixture to curdle a little.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder & arrowroot powder and mix well. Add the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, almond milk mixture and chia egg and mix until well combined. You might want to taste the mixture at this stage and adjust the sweetness if required.
  • Heat up a little coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan. Make sure you use a good quality non-stick frying pan, otherwise the pancake batter will stick to the bottom of the pan. When the pan is hot, fry the pancakes over medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side (allow around 2tbsp per pancake) or until golden and cooked through.
  • Garnish with toppings of choice and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Serve immediately.

#ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there wer #ad Looking back at Veganuary last year, there were nowhere near as many plant-based options in the supermarkets as there are this year. Personally, I find it so much easier to eat plant-based now when there's such an abundance of delicious vegan products, even in the local shops.This @coopuk GRO plant based  mushroom & spinach Wellington from my local Co-op tasted absolutely divine - 'meaty' & creamy on the inside & crunchy & crisp on the outside👌🏻 It's gone down like a treat with my (rather fussy) daughter too, which makes me one happy mum, I must say! ☺️I'm so pleased that Co-op are extending their plant-based offer this January & nearly doubling the choice of their vegan GRO products from winter-warming spiced pie to Asian-inspired noodles, there will be plenty of choices to suit all taste buds 😋 This makes eating plant-based so easy & rather exciting too. Pop in to your local Co-op and check it out for yourself 😉#Veganuary #ItsWhatWeDo
#ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganua #ad Craving some cheesy comfort foods this Veganuary? No problem 😎 This quick & easy vegan broccoli & cheese soup that I made with @violife_foods Epic Grated Mature Cheddar is comfort food at its best, especially during these cold winter days. Thick, creamy & bursting with flavours, it's one of those easy recipes you'll go back to again & again (full recipe below) 🍲If you haven't yet tried @violife_foods vegan products (free from dairy, lactose, soya & gluten), I'd really encourage you to do so. In my humble opinion, Violife cheese alternatives are one of the best at the vegan isle. You can find Violife products in Asda, Coop, Holland & Barrett, Sainsbury's, Tesco & Waitrose.
