These fluffy vegan pancakes are made using aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas, which acts as an egg substitute. They are paired with tender vanilla and cardamom poached pears for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients: 1 cup aquafaba liquid from canned chickpeas. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup almond milk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 2 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced. 1/2 cup water. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, whisk together aquafaba until foamy. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, almond milk, and vanilla extract to the bowl with aquafaba. Mix until just combined. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. In a separate saucepan, combine water, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground cardamom. Bring to a simmer. Add sliced pears to the simmering liquid. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until pears are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally. Serve pancakes topped with the vanilla and cardamom poached pears.
