These soft and tender vegan peach pancakes are served with a spiced maple syrup and are the ideal cozy summer breakfast. In order to infuse maximum flavor, the peaches are simmered in the spiced syrup first then arranged on top of the gluten free oat flour pancakes. Ready in about 40 minutes, this breakfast recipe is perfect for peak peach season!


Ingredients

Units Scale

for the spiced maple syrup and peaches:

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 large peach, sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 7-8 green cardamom pods
  • 1 star anise, optional
  • 5-6 allspice berries, optional

for the pancakes:

  • 70 grams oat flour
  • 20 grams buckwheat flour
  • 30 grams arrowroot flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon psyllium husk, or xanthan gum
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 130 grams nut milk, plus more as needed to thin the batter (I like cashew milk)
  • 30 grams unsweetened applesauce
  • coconut oil, for cooking the pancakes

Instructions

With a mortar and pestle or with the butt of your kitchen knife, gently bruise the cinnamon sticks, star anise, cardamom, and allspice to encourage them to release their oils.

Add the spices, the coconut oil, and the syrup to a small pan set over medium heat. Once the mixture just starts to bubble, turn the heat down to low, keeping it at a very low simmer. Add the sliced peaches and cook them in the syrup until they are just tender, about 5-7 minutes. When the peaches are ready, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool for 15-20 minutes before proceeding with the pancakes. 

When you’re ready to make the pancakes, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

While the skillet it heating up, whisk together the flours, baking powder, psyllium husk, and sea salt. Add the milk, applesauce, and 2 teaspoons of the spiced maple syrup from the pan with the peaches. Whisk until smooth. If it seems too thick, add a splash or two more milk.

Grease the hot skillet with coconut oil. Pour a quarter of the batter into your heated skillet, then place 3-5 peach slices on top of the batter, gently pressing them in a bit. Cook the pancake for about 2-3 minutes on the first side or until bubbles break through the surface and the edge of the pancake starts to look dry. Carefully flip and cook for about 2 more minutes on the second side. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more nut milk if it gets too thick.

Serve the pancakes with the spiced maple syrup and any leftover peaches.

Notes

  • Makes 4 medium pancakes which is enough for a single serving if you’re only eating the pancakes for breakfast, or 2 smaller servings if you’re enjoying some breakfast sides with the pancakes. 
  • If you only have smaller peaches on hand, use two.
