However, being the terrible cook I usually am, I normally use mixes for pancakes. Every mix I have seen has either milk or egg in the ingredients. Which mix, if any, do you use? If you make from scratch can you please share a recipe? Also, I am going out for Easter brunch and I thought I would be safe with pancakes,but after looking at mixes I am thinking not. Besides fruit are there any safe options? I am usually pressed for time and haven't been too creative with my food choices, I have eaten A LOT of rice and beans, so this is my first time eating out

The key is knowing the texture you want (which would be the same as the texture/consistency as the mix). We like to make ours with a mix of whole wheat and buckwheat flour. As far as going out, most breads are not made with egg/dairy (but you can double check once you're there) so something like a bagel or whole grain toast with jam would work (in addition to fruit). Oatmeal works (most restaurants that do breakfast have oatmeal, cream of wheat or something - make sure it's not instant because that usually has dairy included in the mix). If it's an "Easter brunch" event you're likely to have a fairly wide range of items from typical breakfast foods to lunch foods (soups, salad bar, etc). If it's a chain place, check their website ahead of time. If it's a local restaurant, sometimes it pays to call ahead and explain that you're vegan, you'll be coming in for their Sunday brunch, are there non-meat, dairy, egg dishes included in the buffet? --Deb R

Is it one that all you have to do is add oil or milks too? Don't get me wrong I love making them from scratch, but sometimes when you get a craving for a pancake you just don't want to wait,lol. www

I make another one like this, but with 1 c pumpkin/squash, big dash on cinnamon, 1/4 c more flour, and less milk. They are my favorites.
