Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
2 tablespoons of neutral oil
½ cup of applesauce
1 cup of plant-based milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 cups of very ripe mango, tiny diced

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, mix together the oil, applesauce, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and sugar.
Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until the batter is smooth, but there’s no need to remove all the lumps.
Preheat and lightly oil a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
Scoop out the batter with a ¼-cup measuring cup and pour it onto the preheated pan. Place the diced mango on top of each pancake and gently push them in. Once you start seeing a few bubbles and the edges of the top of the pancake begin to dry, flip the pancake over and cook the other side until light brown. Remove from the heat and repeat until all the batter is cooked.

Notes

If you don’t care about the mango chunks showing in your pancakes, you can simply mix them in step 3 instead of in step 5.

Measure the flour properly: To avoid dense pancakes, it’s best to use the spoon and level method rather than packing it into the measuring cup.

Don’t overmix the batter: Combine the ingredients until only ‘just’ mixed – a few small lumps are fine. If overworked, leave it to rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax to avoid dense, rubbery pancakes.

To save time: Use pre-chopped mango or frozen mango (fully thawed).

Test the batter: Cook a test mango pancake (or two) and adjust the heat/time as needed to avoid soggy or burned pancakes.
