Veganmofo15: lazy mornings

One of the easiest and best ways to enjoy your monring and eat brekafast during hte busy weeks or pre-morning-coffee is an old resturant trick: keep a batch of pancaker batter handy wiht lots of add ins for a customaziable breakfast any day of the week.

Really any pancake recipe will work and you should be able to keep them for about a week in the fridge. I opted for a plain white batter, so I could raid the pantry or fruit section throughout the week to spice things up. In the morning just heat your pan over high heat, pour/laddle in your batter and add a topping or filling of choice (here I did coconut walnut) as the batter is cooking in the pan. Then struggle valiantly to flip them and if you're me throw some vegan meats or seitan sausage on the pan post pancakes.

Simple and filling breakfast you can make in minutes, you are welcome!

I have saved Veganism! (Potentially): The theoretical vegan flapjack

I just had a brilliant idea, which seems like it will almost work (being unable to get to the health food store to buy coconut oil and test my theory, I figure I'd run it by the ppk) Vegan Flapjacks.

FlapJacks are some what of an obsession of certain people, essencially they boil down to pancakes cooked in bacon grease (kinda gross when you say it out loud).

So for the vegan version, I was thinking of melting some coconut oil as its a rich fat that is solid at room temperature like bacon grease. It's also known for going a bit crispier than the traditional oil.

For the bacon-y flavour I was thinking a hickory smoke and some soy sauce, possibly garlic or some other flavour.
