Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground flaxseed, sugar, and salt. Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract, and mix just until combined. Do not over-mix to keep the batter light and airy.
- Add a very thin layer of oil to a frying pan or griddle set over low heat. Scoop a small amount of batter onto the pan, using the backside of a spoon to spread it into a circular pancake.
- Cook until bubbles start to form on the top side of the pancake. Then, using a spatula, flip the pancake over and cook until both sides are cooked through. Move the finished pancake to a dish and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Once your pancakes are ready, gently fold them into a taco holder.
- Serve with a prepared toppings bar to allow guests to make their own customized tacos. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Store leftover pancake tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the toppings separate to maintain freshness and texture.
Reheating: To reheat, place the pancake tacos in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. For a quicker option, use a microwave on medium power for 30-60 seconds.
Get That Perfect Pancake Shape: Use a squeeze bottle to dispense the pancake batter onto the griddle. This helps control the amount and shape, ensuring perfectly round pancakes every time.
Fresh Flavor Boost: Add a splash of citrus juice (like orange or lemon) to your batter for a fresh, zesty twist that complements the sweet toppings beautifully.
Taco Holder Alternative: If you don't have taco holders, try using an upside-down muffin tin or rolled-up pieces of aluminum foil to keep your pancake tacos in shape while you add the toppings.
