Whether you\u2019re dabbling with a plant-based diet<\/a>, actively trying to reduce your meat consumption or looking to eat more nutritious veggies, we\u2019re here to help. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over half a million people pledged to go vegan this January, the biggest uptake since the charity Veganuary<\/a> launched the initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Mindful Chef<\/a> we\u2019re proud to be part of the meat-free movement, having been the first recipe box in the UK to launch vegan meals<\/a> back in 2016. And, did you know that 80% of our customers chose a vegan meal last year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In light of this, we thought we\u2019d share three hacks for a plant-based Pancake Day, no butter or eggs necessary!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Power to buckwheat flour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not only is buckwheat flour gluten-free<\/a>, it also makes a great base for egg-less pancakes. This week we serve up buckwheat pancakes with harissa-spiced jackfruit<\/strong>, but they\u2019re equally delicious with sweet toppings too \u2013 you decide. To make your own, follow the steps here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Give chickpea flour a go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We love chickpeas so much, we\u2019ve used them twice in this week\u2019s Tamarind chickpea curry & chickpea pancakes. Once you try them you\u2019ll be hooked and won\u2019t be able to eat curry without \u2018em. Give chickpea pancakes a go by following the recipe here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. All hail the chia egg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one should miss out on the Blueberry & banana pancakes<\/a> from our cookbook Mindful Chef: Eat Well, Live Better<\/a>. 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
