Introduction

If you have leftover mincemeat or just a jar hanging around, this is a nice way to jazz up pancakes — a perfect Christmas Day breakfast treat. They can be served with maple syrup or a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkling of sugar, or try them with vegan soured cream.

Method

Vegan Mincemeat Pancakes is a guest recipe by Sam Dixon so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe

Whisk together the oat or almond milk, vinegar and vanilla extract in a jug.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and orange zest in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, pour in the oat or almond milk mixture and gradually whisk into the dry ingredients until all incorporated and you have a smooth batter. Fold in the mincemeat, then cover with a clean tea towel and let the batter rest for 30 minutes.
Once the batter has rested, heat a little drizzle of oil in a large nonstick frying pan, ladle the batter into the pan, enough to make the size of pancake you prefer, and cook until bubbles form on the surface. Then flip over and cook until golden brown on both sides. Remove and keep warm on an ovenproof plate in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the cooked pancakes on the plate. Once all the batter is cooked, serve the pancakes with whatever accompaniments you like.
