Special Pancakes & Waffle Recipes for Mom

• Wholesome Hazelnut Pancakes – A simple vegan pancake recipe with a hazelnut topper.
• Chocolate Banana Pancakes – One of the healthier pancake recipes for mom, these are easily gluten-free and packed with hearty oats.
• Classic Belgian Waffles – Though they have a traditional taste and texture, these are anything but classic, since they have been modernized with healthy vegan ingredients!
• Healthy Morning Waffles – These vegan waffles are infused with wholesome ingredients that you probably already have on hand.
• Peanut Butter Chocolate Pancakes – Oh you so know who created this recipe. Yup, that would be me.
• Masala Chai Waffles – A spot on Mother’s Day recipe made with an incredible infusion of spices.
• Gluten-Free Banana Flax Pancakes (pictured above) – Sweetened only with banana and spiked with flaxseeds, this is a great recipe for low sugar moms.
• Peaches & Cream Waffle Bites – Use homemade or cheat with store-bought, either way, these are a fun, pretty little breakfast treat.

Quick Pancakes: Use your favorite pancake or waffle mix, but substitute coconut milk beverage or almond milk beverage for the liquid. If the directions call for eggs, have fun with the substitutions, depending on your flavor mood. If it is a wheat-based mix, you can simply add more liquid. For gluten-free or a more cohesive stack, use egg replacer, such as Ener-G, flax eggs, or sub in up to 1/4 cup of dairy-free yogurt or banana for each egg in the box recipe. For the mix, Bob’s Red Mill and Arrowhead Mills (skip the buttermilk!) each offer delicious, wholesome wheat-based and gluten-free options. Wholesome Chow  and Cherrybrook Kitchen are purely vegan mixes, or if you prefer “tradition,” even Aunt Jemima has a couple of vegan pancake and waffle mixes – just be sure to read the label! Oh, and don’t forget to top that stack with a couple pats of non-dairy non-hydrogenated margarine (like Earth Balance) for a special treat.
