Okay, so I am guilty of posting many, many vegan pancake recipes, but what can I say? I get out of bed every weekend, dreaming of a stack of steaming pancakes that I can eat without feeling awful a minute after I have.
I hit the jackpot with these. My very vegan Wholegrain Tofu Pancakes are among the most guilt-free I've ever cooked up. They are made, like all my pancake recipes, with whole wheat pastry flour, and I added tofu to them instead of the sour cream that I would have in the past. So not only did I take away a fat-filled, zero-nutrition product, but I replaced it with a healthy, lean and protein-filled one. With no compromise whatsoever in the taste. I could hug myself!
The lime (you can use lemon) in the pancakes gives them a tang that goes perfectly with the heavy sweetness of my favorite pancake topping, maple syrup.
It's Friday night, and I want to get away and have some fun, so I'll get on with the recipe. Do try them this weekend. You won't regret them, and neither will your waistline!

Wholegrain Tofu Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup silken tofu
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- 4 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Whisk the dry ingredients--flour, sugar, baking soda and salt, in a bowl. Dump in the wet ingredients and mix until everything is moistened. Don't overmix--a few lumps are fine.
- Pour ¼ cup of the batter on a hot non-stick or cast-iron griddle coated with oil. This is a very thick, almost cakey batter, so you might have to give it a nudge with your ladle to help it spread.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the top of the pancake and the bottom is golden-brown. Flip over and cook until golden on the other side.
- Serve hot with maple syrup or any other topping of your choice.

These just saved my meal. I opened a pack of tofu planning to make scrambled tofu with tomatoes and realised that I have incidentally bought silken tofu instead of a regular one. I had no idea what to do with it so I started googling and this way I found your recipe. Oh my, the pancakes were delicious. I served them with homemade strawberry jam and apple sauce.
