Whether you’re dabbling with a plant-based diet, actively trying to reduce your meat consumption or looking to eat more nutritious veggies, we’re here to help.
Over half a million people pledged to go vegan this January, the biggest uptake since the charity Veganuary launched the initiative.
At Mindful Chef we’re proud to be part of the meat-free movement, having been the first recipe box in the UK to launch vegan meals back in 2016. And, did you know that 80% of our customers chose a vegan meal last year?
In light of this, we thought we’d share three hacks for a plant-based Pancake Day, no butter or eggs necessary!
1. Power to buckwheat flour
Not only is buckwheat flour gluten-free, it also makes a great base for egg-less pancakes. This week we serve up buckwheat pancakes with harissa-spiced jackfruit, but they’re equally delicious with sweet toppings too – you decide. To make your own, follow the steps here.
This dish is available on the menu from Sunday 14th to Saturday 20th February. Log in at mindfulchef.com and add them to your box now.
2. Give chickpea flour a go
We love chickpeas so much, we’ve used them twice in this week’s Tamarind chickpea curry & chickpea pancakes. Once you try them you’ll be hooked and won’t be able to eat curry without ‘em. Give chickpea pancakes a go by following the recipe here.
This dish is available on the menu from Sunday 14th to Saturday 20th February. Log in at mindfulchef.com and add them to your box now.
3. All hail the chia egg
No one should miss out on the Blueberry & banana pancakes from our cookbook Mindful Chef: Eat Well, Live Better. To make them egg-free, take 1 tbsp chia seeds and place in a small bowl with 3 tbsp water. Wait for around 5 minutes until a gel forms, then use in the recipe, just as you would a regular egg!
