Vegan Blueberry Pancake Monster

Lately I've been more seriously dabbling in a bit of veganism.  

I feel like all the junk food I eat is based around animal products, 

so in order to get healthier I thought why not purchase a few vegan cook books.

The real problem with this is Nick is pretty much anti-vegan.  

I think it is a dude thing.  

So usually I pick the most unhealthy vegan man friendly recipe 

from the cook book AND then we end up de -veganizing it.

The other weekend for example, I made pancakes from Veganomicon and used

butter to grease the pan.

Vegan Fail. 

Now, I think I still need to try more recipes from this cookbook to give it a fair review,

 but so far I am finding learning to veganize food challenging.  

Like when I made these blueberry pancakes the other day.

This was the runniest pancake batter I've ever seen,

 spread thin like a crepe if you ask me...

Then it turned into this green little blobby pancake monster... 

that just so happened to match my nail polish.

But after a few more tries I was able to get it to come out like this...

And I have to say, even though it is messy, 

and not the most attractive blueberry pancake ever, 

it was certainly scrum-diddily-umptious.  

Blueberry Corn Pancakes from Veganomicon  

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 1/4 cup plain soy milk 
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla - I subbed this for almond extract because we were out of vanilla, and it gave them a lovely marzipan flavor.
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (we used frozen, just microwaved them before adding them to the batter)

In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients.  Mix together wet ingredients in another bowl, then add wet to dry - being careful not to over mix and gently folding in the blueberries.  

The instructions say to use a quarter of a cup of batter and cook over medium high heat, but I found it was best to just make one big pan sized pancake and fold it up like a crepe.  

Have you guys tried any vegan cooking?
