Healthy, Vegan and Terrific Strawberry Pancakes

Wish I Could Cook's Note:

I found this recipe in the 2009 Vegetarian Journal (Issue One). I just made it this morning and it makes light, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth delicious pancakes. Silly me for using boxed mixes all these years! I'm sure you could substitute cow's milk if you don't have soymilk.

Good. I made these gluten and corn free using a buckwheat pancake mix from 1-2-3 Gluten Free (I wish I could find it in stores again, found it at Winners!) I used freshly ground cardamom instead of cinnamon and half & half cream (10%) mixed with water for the soy milk to be soy free of course that makes it not vegan. Served with additional sliced strawberries macerated in a little organic cane sugar, Balkan (thick) yogurt, creamed raw local honey with bee pollen in it and chopped pistachio nuts, yum. Made for Veggie Swap #49 ~ August ~

These are so good! The little burst of flavor from the strawberries was delightful, and they add plenty of sweetness. I used gluten free flour to make it gluten free. I had a little problem with sticking in the pan (quite possibly due to the flour sub), so I added a little oil and it worked great. They came out with a golden crispy outside and soft middle - very nice! Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap 49

These were probably the most delicious pancakes I've ever made! And they were easy to make! I used whole-wheat pastry flour. I will definitely make these again.
