Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters almond milk
- 120 milliliters aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
- 30 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams raisins
- 15 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 60 grams applesauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a clean bowl, whisk the aquafaba until it forms stiff peaks. This will take about 6-8 minutes with an electric mixer.
Gently fold the whipped aquafaba into the batter, maintaining as much volume as possible.
Melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour the batter into the skillet and scatter the raisins evenly over the surface. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the top is mostly set.
Use a spatula to divide the pancake into quarters and carefully flip each section.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegan butter to the skillet. As the pieces cook on the other side, use the spatula to tear them into smaller bite-sized pieces, and continue cooking until golden brown all over.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon zest.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Kaiserschmarren!
