Ingredients
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 3/4 cup Almond milk
- 1 tbsp Ground flax
- 3 tbsp Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Vegan butter
- 1 tsp Baking powder
Steps
- Stir the ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water and set aside 5 minutes; it thickens into a gel that binds the cakes like egg.
- Whisk the cornmeal, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Add the almond milk, flax gel, and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup; stir into a thick, spoonable batter.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat with a slick of oil.
- Drop 1/4-cup mounds of batter and flatten slightly; cook 3 minutes per side until crisp and deep golden at the edges.
- Mash the vegan butter with the remaining maple syrup.
- Serve the hot johnnycakes with maple butter melting over the top.
