Top Tips

• Allow the pancake batter sit for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow it to rise and achieve a fluffier texture.
• Do not over mix. Having lumps are okay!

Variations

• Here is a similar donut maker we used and here is a similar hot dog maker we used. Or use a muffin maker.
• Sprinkle donuts with fresh or frozen blueberries, bananas, or your favorite fruit.
• Toppings: Customize toppings with vegan whipped cream, fruit compote, crushed nuts, or dairy-free chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
• Feel free to use premade vegan pancake mix.
• Add a simple vanilla or chocolate glaze to give this recipe an extra boost of flavor.

Substitutions

• Bacon: There's so many different types of vegetarian bacons and Stripples (Veggie Bacon Strips (this contains eggs) is my favorite.
• Maple Syrup: Substitute maple syrup with agave nectar, brown rice syrup, or date syrup for a vegan-friendly sweetener.
• Flour: Substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, oat flour, almond flour, or a gluten-free flour blend for dietary preferences.
• Baking Powder: Double check the baking powder used is labeled as vegan, as some brands may contain animal-derived ingredients.
• Flavorings: Replace vanilla extract with almond extract or maple extract for different flavor profiles in the pancake batter.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Place cooled pancake bites in an airtight container or zip-top bag at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: For longer storage, refrigerate pancake bites in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
• Freezer: To freeze, arrange cooled pancake bites in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
• Layering: If stacking pancake bites, place parchment paper or wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.
• Reheating: To reheat refrigerated or frozen pancake bites, microwave for a few seconds until warmed through or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until heated.

FAQ

My friend Cobi, from Veggietutorial, introduced me to this extraordinary Maple "Bacon" Pancake recipe. It takes the flavors of Stripples a beloved vegetarian bacon my siblings and I enjoyed as kids. For our collaboration adventure, I prepared the pancake batter while she made the "bacon." Combining our efforts resulted in pancakes that were exponentially more delicious!
