Vegan Pancakes & French Toast Recipes to Brighten Your Weekend

Pancakes and French toast seem like two kinds of treats go by the wayside for vegans — don’t they need eggs, milk, and butter? Not at all! There are easy tweaks for making this leisurely breakfast fare without a trace of those ingredients. If you’re gluten-free as well as vegan, we’ve got you covered there as well with a GF pancake and French toast recipe in this line-up.

This recipe for Vegan Pumpkin Waffles is great for the waffle maker. Most vegan pancakes tend to be dense and the waffle maker gives it a bit more of a fluffy texture. If you want to use this as a pancake batter, by all means. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the dry ingredients.
