hi kelly, i am not a usual commenter on the many recipe blogs i frequent, but this one… i had to! i just discovered your site when looking for some pancakes to go with a lemon juice + zest greek yogurt topping (i’ve been craving lemons) and you are already my favorite. i love how unpretentious your site is and how simple the recipes are. i quartered the recipe here because i was making it only for myself and made the lemon yogurt topping (1/4 c greek yogurt plus ~1.5 tbsp lemon juice and the zest of ~1/4 lemon) while the mixture rested. these were SO easy and by far the best pancakes i’ve ever had. combined with the topping they were the best pairing ever. thank you so much for this recipe, i am sure it is not the last of yours i will be trying. cheers! zoe

Everytime i look up some recipe on vegan or healthy website the comments are , food looks good they talk about the picture but you really don’t know if it is good …so that doesn’t help me to know….well I cooked your pancakes yesterday for Easter ……I added 1 ts cinnamon , 1 grated apple . Your recipe rock so so so good and moist not dry at all ….the batter is quite thick so I added 1/4 cup more almond milk . You have to spread the batter with the back of a spoon in the pan . But what I like is the batter is not thin so you can make 3 little pancakes in a big skillet .my family loved it. Thank you !!!!
Now this is a review that can help someone pick your recipe over another website…
Happy Easter everyone

In reply to Vince. After Lily's comment, I tried them both ways and thought they were very similar. It's a big enough recipe that, for me, it doesn't have any impact. I'll make a note though. Glad you liked them.

Hi Kelly, the reason Lily had bitter pancakes is because there was some confusion over baking powder verses baking soda. You correctly listed baking powder in your ingredients list, but you accidentally listed baking soda in your instructions. I once or twice screwed up a recipe with before, it jumped out at me when I reviewed your recipe. A tablespoon of baking soda would indeed make Lily’s pancakes inedible. I did my own slight modifications to the recipe. I dropped the chia and added more golden flax, used sunflower oil as my fat and I’m not a vegan so I threw in a duck egg for protein. They came out quite nice!

In reply to Lily.

Hmm, I’m not sure what went wrong for you, Lily! I’ve personally made the recipe as written on several occasions and I’ve gotten many comments on social media and via email from happy pancake eaters. You’re probably put off from the recipe now, but consider if you made any other substitutions, like leaving out the agave nectar or the butter/coconut oil — both will have a negative impact on the taste. I would also recommend checking your flax, as that can get VERY bitter if it’s expired. I keep mine in the freezer and it’s still only good for a couple of months.

Sorry, meant to specify you wrote “tbsp” for the baking soda. I think that’s where the bitterness came from. It seemed like a lot but I thought maybe it was reasonable because there isn’t egg.
