Half the guilt, double the flavour refined sugar-free, vegan wholemeal blueberry pancakes! I bet you think these vegan wholemeal blueberry pancakes are boring don’t you! Especially because they are sugar free! But I promise you, these vegan wholemeal blueberry pancakes are FAR FROM boring! They are absolutely delicious. These vegan wholemeal blueberry pancakes are light and fluffy because we curdle our soy milk with apple cider vinegar. They are naturally sweetened with agave syrup and blueberries. And they puff up to a delicious big pancake! YUM!
