When mini pancakes are homemade, you get to control the ingredients! These mini pancakes are vegan, which means they don’t contain dairy or any products derived from animals. Traditional pancakes typically include milk or buttermilk, eggs, and sugar (which is usually only vegan in the U.S. if it’s organic), but these tiny creations use plant-based buttermilk (plant-based milk and lemon juice), flax meal eggs (ground flax seed and water), and coconut sugar. Of course, these same ingredients can be used to make large pancakes…the only reason these are mini is due to the cooking method.
