Tips & Tricks for Vegan Blueberry Pancakes
Large Bowl
This is a simple one-bowl recipe which means all of the ingredients get mixed together in one large mixing bowl. Make sure to choose a large enough bowl that will give you enough room to mix everything. Choosing a large enough bowl will decrease any spillage.We love this stainless steel mixing bowl set.
Whisking Benefits
You've probably seen the word "whisk" countless times in recipes, but do you know why? Whisking accomplishes two things at once: it mixes the ingredients and incorporates air. The shape of the whisk allows the wires to grab all of the batter around the bowl, mix, and bring in air. Because of this, whisking usually results in a fluffy result—in this case, extra fluffy pancakes!
If you don't own a whisk already, here are a few to consider:
Baking Powder
Baking powder is an important ingredient in our pancakes, and it's crucial that your baking powder is fresh and active. Usually, baking powder has a shelf life of anywhere from 6–12 months.
To test if your baking powder is active, simply drop half a teaspoon into boiling water. The water should bubble up quickly. If it doesn't, then the baking powder isn't active, and you'll need to replace it in order to make a recipe successfully.

Vegan Blueberry Pancakes FAQs
Why don't my pancakes have the right texture?
The texture of pancakes depends a lot on the quality of the ingredients used and the process of combining them. To have the best tasting pancakes, use fresh ingredients. Additionally, avoid overmixing the batter; simply whisk until combined.
How do you know when to flip the pancakes?
The common mistake when making pancakes is trying to flip them too early. Many people flip their pancakes right after the batter bubbles; however, you should wait until the batter bubbles pop and don't bubble anymore. This indicates that the underside is cooked (because the hole is not filling up with more batter to bubble again), and it's ready to flip.
