Plant-based ingredients tips and their substitution!

This recipe is composed of a few healthy ingredients and this will be in your pantry.

1. Butternut squash: Use mashed roasted or shredded butternut squash and also you can use pumpkin.
2. Plant-based milk: I prefer to use almond milk. Though you can use any of the plant-based milk that you already have.
3. Flax seeds: Originally eggs are common use when making pancakes but this time we will make them vegan and we will use 1 tbsp of flax seeds and stir them into 3 tbsp of water.
4. Vanilla extract and cinnamon: It gives aromatic flavor, don’t skip this. For the cinnamon, it gives the perfect combination of butternut squash.
5. Maple syrup: Use any of your preferred natural or dairy-free sweeteners like agave, swerve, etc.
6. Baking powder and flour: It provides the right consistency for the pancakes, use certified gluten-free flour.
7. For the sauce: all you need is pecans or walnuts, maple syrup, and unsalted plant butter. This is optional but as always it is a great addition.

 

I hope these tips will help you to make these butternut squash pancakes more healthy and tasty.
