I just adore pancakes, I make them often it feel like I could do them with my eyes closed, some of my other favorite pancakes include vegan banana oat pancakes or bisquick vegan pancakes .

Ingredients

flour, cornmeal, milk, corn kernels, vinegar, maple syrup, salt and baking powder laid out in bowls

The complete list of ingredients with measurements, can be found in the full recipe card below.

All-purpose flour, aka plain flour, will create the cakiness of these delicious pancakes. Generally, when I make this recipe I make two batches, one for the family and one for me using a cup-for-cup replacement of gluten free all purpose flour blend with a thickener in it.

Yellow cornmeal or instant polenta is amazing in this recipe (avoid the coarse variety), I adore the tiny crunchy granules, the added unique texture is like a little party in my mouth.

Sweet corn kernels, you can use fresh corn or canned corn. I used canned which I drained the excess liquid before, I found the canned version to have more flavor. If you’re not a fan, just leave these out, however, I highly recommend including them.

Janelle's Tips

When to flip?

Small bubbles will start to form on the surface of the pancake and the edges of the pancakes look dry and set. This will usually take about about 2-3 minutes for this recipe, this is when it’s time to flip.

What if I don't have a non-stick skillet or griddle?

To cook these vegan corn pancakes without sticking in a hot skillet, use melted dairy-free butter, cooking spray, or your preferred neutral oil such as vegetable or canola oil. Heat up your chosen oil option and then add the pancake batter to the hot oil.

Try serving these pancakes with a kick by drizzling some homemade spicy maple syrup.

Storage Suggestion

Fridge

Once cooled to room temperature, store any leftover vegan corn pancakes in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Freezer

Once these vegan cornmeal pancakes have cooled to room temperature, arrange them flat on a freezer-friendly tray in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping, and freeze overnight. Afterward, transfer the frozen pancakes to an airtight freezer-friendly bag, seal it shut, and store them flat in the freezer for up to three (3) months.

I like to defrost my corn pancakes by placing them directly from the freezer into a toaster. The result is fun toasted pancakes! So much yum!
