Pancakes are a frequent item on Principia’s breakfast menu. Since they contain butter, eggs, and milk, I figured that a plant-based alternative recipe would be worthwhile. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This alternative recipe was incredibly simple. (Not cracking eggs was a plus too.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to plain pancakes, I experimented with a few other varieties: banana, chocolate chip, blueberry, walnut, flaxseed, and one with everything.<\/p>\n

This particular recipe was quick, simple, and tasty, but it doesn’t compare to the average fluffy pancake that most people are accustomed to. These pancakes were dense, a bit tough, and the coconut oil overwhelmed the flavor.
