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.
