Vegalicious pancakes !

Banana-nut-pancakes
I have started to take us of my new vegan bible. Vegan brunch part 704, these pancakes must have been..best ever! My only addition was replacing nutmeg with freshly ground cardamum. Banana and nuts are my favorites!! Eaten with a new find: coconut jam by Jam It! Suitable for vegans. They also have other exotic jam options, papaya and mango. But now for the recipe (from the book Veganomicon, the measures are translated from cups):

Ingredients:
about 4 dl of soy milk
1 dl of water
2 teaspoons apple honey vinegar
2 bananas
3 tablespoons oil / melted butter
3 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
1 teaspoon vanille sugar
about 5,5 dl of flour (3½ dl of spelt flour, 2 dl of all-purpose flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 tsp cardamom (about 3-4 whole cardamoms)
2,5 dl of nuts (chop or fine with a blender)
Preheat the pan. Pour the soy milk, water and vinegar into a cup and set aside.
Mash the bananas well, add the soy milk mixture with oil, honey and vanilla. Now add the flour, baking powder and soda, salt and cardamom. Combine with a fork, don't overmix. Fold in the chopped nuts. The batter becomes quite firm.
Now add some butter or oil on the warm pan, and cook the pancakes. Because of the batters' texture I used a spoon to spread it evenly on the pan. Serve with ice cream, jam, fresh strawberries etc..
