Chia Coconut Pancakes with Figs

VEGAN

Ingredients

1 cup flour (I used half wheat/half spelt)
2 Tbsp coconut blossom sugar
2 Tbsp oats
2 Tbsp chia seeds
2 Tbsp coconut butter
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
vanilla extract

Instructions

1.Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and than add the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Let rest for about 5-10 minutes, so the Chia seeds can soak.
2.Heat a pan add some oil of your choice, I used coconut and bake the pancakes on medium heat.
3.We also added some vegan chocolate chips to some of the pancakes.
4.Enjoy with fresh fruits or maple syrup.

Notes

Tip from my kitchen: really give the batter its 5–10 minutes of resting time – only then do the chia seeds swell properly and make the pancakes fluffy and moist. Cook them over medium heat and flip them as soon as small bubbles appear on the surface. For the kids I like to sprinkle a few vegan chocolate chips directly onto the batter once the pancakes are already in the pan. And if you love the coconut flavor, cook them in coconut oil like I do.
