Soft, golden and warmly spiced, these vegan and gluten free chai pancakes turn a slow weekend morning into something to look forward to. Our House Chai Blend brings cinnamon-led warmth to a simple oat and soy batter, and everything comes together in one bowl.

Vegan Gluten Free Chai Pancakes

Makes: around 6 pancakes
Prep: 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes resting in the fridge
Cook: around 4 minutes per pancake

Ingredients

• 50g gluten free plain flour
• 25g gluten free oat flour
• 3 tsp gluten free baking powder
• 1 flax egg (1 tsp flax mixed with 3 tsp hot water, combined and left to cool)
• 1.5 tsp EDEN & CO. Chai Blend
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 110ml unsweetened soy milk
• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Make the flax egg. Mix the flax with the hot water, stir well and leave it to cool and thicken while you measure the rest.
2. Mix the batter. Add the gluten free flour, oat flour, baking powder, chai blend, salt, vanilla, soy milk and cooled flax egg to a bowl and mix until smooth.
3. Rest. Cover the bowl and leave the batter in the fridge for 30 minutes. This gives a thicker batter and fluffier pancakes.
4. Heat the pan. Warm a frying pan on a medium heat.
5. Cook. Dollop two heaped tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook for around 2 minutes on each side, until golden.
6. Serve. Transfer to a plate and add your favourite extras. We love maple syrup, chocolate chips, banana or strawberries. Sometimes all at once!

Tips for the best chai pancakes

• Cook in batches. Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven while you cook the rest, so everyone sits down to a hot stack.
• Keep the heat medium. A steady medium heat gives a golden outside and a soft, fluffy middle.
• Adjust the batter. If it feels a little thick after resting, stir in a splash of soy milk until it drops easily from the spoon.
• Top with fruit. Banana and strawberries bring freshness alongside the warm spice.

Make it a chai morning

Our Chai Blend is a softly spiced infusion made for the moment you sit down with a warm mug. It stirs into pancake batter just as happily as it brews into a drink, so one jar covers your breakfast and your cup.
