Ingredients

Wet

• 100 ml dairy-free milk e.g. almond, cashew, rice or coconut

• 4 tbsp vegan yoghurt e.g. soy or coconut

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 80ml maple syrup

• 2 tbsp rapeseed oil

• Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon

Dry

• 200g self-raising flour (or make your own healthier 'oat flour' by blending 200g of rolled oats - my preferred choice).

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 1 1/2 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions

1. Heat a dry frying pan on a low heat. A small non-stick pan works best but use your first try to assess if you need to add a small amount of oil.

2. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

3. Stir in the wet ingredients until well combined and the texture is runny but thick.

4. Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the dry pan and cook for 20-30 seconds before carefully flipping onto the other side. Cook for another 20-30 seconds.

5. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

6. Serve with some vegan yoghurt, extra zest or whatever other toppings you like and enjoy!
