Ingredients

• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters almond milk
• 120 milliliters aquafaba (liquid from canned chickpeas)
• 30 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 50 grams raisins
• 15 grams powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegan butter
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 60 grams applesauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk well to combine.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 3

In a clean bowl, whisk the aquafaba until it forms stiff peaks. This will take about 6-8 minutes with an electric mixer.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped aquafaba into the batter, maintaining as much volume as possible.

Step 5

Melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the skillet and scatter the raisins evenly over the surface. Cook for about 5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the top is mostly set.

Step 7

Use a spatula to divide the pancake into quarters and carefully flip each section.

Step 8

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegan butter to the skillet. As the pieces cook on the other side, use the spatula to tear them into smaller bite-sized pieces, and continue cooking until golden brown all over.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and lemon zest.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Kaiserschmarren!
