These chai-spiced pancakes are so delicious and simple to make. They’re vegan-friendly and free of dairy, gluten, and refined sugar! I’m sure these figs would’ve gone perfectly with regular pancakes, but I love the combo of these sweet, earthy figs with warm spices, so I decided to try chai-spiced pancakes! Boy, this combo sure didn’t disappoint either!

Ingredients

fresh figs, for serving (optional)
crushed walnuts or pecans, for serving (optional)
1 tbsp. distilled white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. maple syrup or other sweetener of choice
3 tbsp. melted coconut oil, melted butter (dairy-free or regular butter, if you consume dairy) or other oil of choice, plus extra for greasing pan
1 1/3 cups almond milk or other milk of choice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. allspice or cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cardamom
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or gluten-free cup for cup flour blend

Method

01

In a large mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice, and salt. Add milk, oil, maple syrup, and vinegar, stirring just until blended.
02

Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a little coconut oil/cooking oil to the pan and spread to coat.
03

Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop pancakes onto the hot griddle. Cook for a minute or so on each side, flipping the first time when bubbles begin to appear or edges are lightly brown.
04

Top with crushed pecans or walnuts and sliced figs. Makes 2–3 servings
05

If you don't have cardamom, just add a little more of the other spices in its place.
