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.

Wholegrain Tofu Pancakes
Vegan Wholegrain Tofu Pancakes with a high-protein boost from tofu and the goodness of whole grains.
8
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup silken tofu
- â…“ cup almond milk
- 4 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil or any neutral 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.

After a long bike ride, I was craving pancakes! For a while now, I have looked at that box of silken tofu in the cupboard, wondering what to do with it. I made a few changes to your recipe, based on what was on hand. These pancakes are being enjoyed right now! Half of the whole wheat was substituted with coconut flour, and some apple cider vinegar replaced the lemon juice. I omitted baking soda and used palm sugar for some of the sugar. Without coconut oil, I substituted with olive oil. I found that I had to add quite a bit more water. The acidic tang is nice; I never would have thought of adding it! Warm deliciousness, served with tahini and maple syrup. Mmmmm....
