Ingredients

Vegan Poppy Seed Pancakes:

Caramelized Figs:

Instructions

Prepare the Pancakes:

  • Add all ingredients for the pancakes to a blender and blend until combined (note: if you don't have a blender, you can also use a hand mixer, or whisk by hand). The batter will be thick - this is normal!
  • Heat 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil or coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Measure a scant 1/4 cup of matter and pour onto the hot skillet. Note that the pancake batter won't spread the way regular pancake batter does, so you can use your finger or a spoon to shape it into a disc. Cook 1 to 2 minutes per side, until golden-brown and cooked through in the center. Repeat for remaining batter.
  • Top Pancakes with caramelized figs, roasted chopped almonds, pure maple syrup, and/or any other toppings you love.

Make the Caramelized Figs

  • Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high. Add the chopped figs, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until figs are deep in color and caramelize, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and serve on top of pancakes!

Notes

*you can also use regular all-purpose flour if you're not gluten-free
