Low Fat Vegan Cooking

I am a friend of the footless,
I am a friend of all bipeds,
I am a friend of those with four feet,
I am a friend of the many footed!

Multi-Grain Gluten Free Pancakes featuring Buckwheat with Raspberry Sauce

Multi-Grain Gluten Free Pancakes with Raspberry Sauce

The first five times i made this recipe, the pancakes were different every time, as i adapted the recipe depending on how my husband and i liked the last batch.  From then on they have remained more or less the same, depending only on what flours i have.

I have come to like these particular pancakes better than my long favorite whole wheat ones.  And with all the flavors, even a person new to low fat cooking might not miss the oil.

Makes about 21 ¼ c. pancakes

Preparation about 45 minutes, including time to do other things like the rest of the meal

Freezes well

Best fresh off the stove

¾ c. brown rice flour

¾ c. buckwheat flour

¼ c. sorghum flour

¼ c. amaranth flour

2 T. ground flax seeds

¼ c. vegan sugar (raw is fine)

1 T. baking powder

1 t. baking soda

1 t. agar agar (flakes or powder)

½ t. salt

2 c. vegan milk

Heat oven to 170°.

Mix dry ingredients together (everything but the vegan milk).  Add milk and stir until all the dry ingredients are moistened.

Heat a non-stick skillet or two briefly.  Drop batter on the skillet and cook about 1 minute per side.  Keep warm in the oven until all are done and/or all partakers are assembled.

Serve with raspberry sauce, maple syrup, or fresh fruit with or without soy yogurt.

Raspberry sauce:

Makes about 4 servings

Preparation about 5 minutes

Freezes well

Can be made ahead

Wash 1 ½ c. fresh raspberries.  Drain well.  Put in a small pan with 2 T. vegan sugar.  Heat about 4 minutes, until the berries release their juice.  Stir frequently at first, and then constantly.
