Pan cakes with plum sauce and cashew cream

I haven't made pancakes in what seems like forever, because I suppose, I was never a big fan. I know, I know--I'm one of those people. Anyway, I googled "vegan pancakes" and of course "Oh She Glows" had the answer I was looking for. 

My house mates keep raving about this girl's blog and how yummy her recipes are so I've been looking forward to trying some out. Although, I've literally never been able to follow a recipe directly, I always make modifications.

Below, shows the screen shot I used as my guide, but I'll post what I did since I was dealing with a different ingredient selection in my pantry  :)

BOWL #1 (electric mixing bowl- on low/med speed for 5 min)

3/4 cup coconut flour

3/4 cup warm water

3 TBSP coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 TBSP maple syrup

2 TBSP Earth Balance

BOWL #2 (dry)

1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp all spice

1/4 tsp cinnamon

a few twists of pink salt

While Bowl #1 is mixing, measure all dry ingredients and combine in a small bowl. Slowly add the powders to the mixing bowl #2 while it is on low. Allow it to continue mixing while you prep a hot pan on the stove.

I transferred the pancake mix into a smaller bowl so I could use the electric mixer for the plum sauce while I was flipping cakes. 

Plum Sauce (in electric mixer) 15 min

6 plums

3 figs

1 tbsp vanilla extract

4 TBSP coconut flour

1 1/2 TBSP maple syrup

1 TBSP Acai powder

1 TBSP Purple Maquai powder

1 tsp coconut oil

1/4 tsp allspice

Cashew Cream (in Vitamix) on low for 5-10 min total. let it rest every few minutes

1 cup soaked cashews 

1 cup water 

1 tsp coconut flour

1 tsp coconut oil

1/4 tsp avocado oil

1/4 tsp vanilla

I topped each pancake with the plum sauce, and then with a dollop of cashew cream, and topped that with carefully sliced plum wedges. YUM!!!

I was supprised at how dense this breakfast was, contrary to conventional pancakes and "syrup". I think my favorite part was the combination of the sweet plum sauce with the light mild flavor of the cashew cream.

I was full from just two and a half pancakes, and I would totally make these again. :)
