Questions

What Makes These Pancakes Plant-Based?

These pancakes are completely free of any animal products, meaning no dairy or eggs were used in this recipe. This makes them perfect for anyone following a vegan, plant-based, or even a lactose-free diet.

How Do the Ingredients Benefit My Hair and Skin?

The inclusion of almond milk, flaxseed, and whole wheat flour offers essential nutrients like biotin, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, which promote hair growth, combat skin aging, and provide other beauty benefits.

Can I Make These Pancakes Gluten-Free?

How Are These Pancakes Healthier Than Traditional Cinnamon Rolls?

The Benefits of Each Ingredient

Almond Milk for Nourishing Beauty

Almond milk is lower in calories than cow’s milk and contains vitamin E, which is great for skin health. It is also fortified with vitamin D, offering a boost for hair development. The vitamin content also supports anti-aging and overall skin health, while almond milk’s protein and omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in keeping your hair strong and shiny.

Flaxseed and Its Hair Revival Powers

Flaxseed is incredibly high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are critical for healthy hair and skin. The proteins and selenium in flaxseed can also enhance the elasticity of your skin, keeping it taut and supple. When it comes to curly hair, flaxseed can help alleviate dandruff, prevent hair loss, and promote new hair growth.

Whole Wheat Flour: The Curly Hair Champion

Whole wheat flour is rich in iron, B vitamins, and zinc, all essential nutrients for maintaining a healthy scalp and thus, healthy curls. For those with curly hair, maintaining moisture and nourishing the scalp is key, and whole wheat flour delivers.

Recipe

Plant-Based Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
• 4 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of almond milk
• 2 tablespoons of maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Drizzle:

• 1/2 cup of vegan cream cheese
• 1/4 cup of plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
2. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined (be careful not to overmix).
3. In a small saucepan, mix the ingredients for the cinnamon swirl over low heat until a syrup-like mixture forms.
