53 vegan pancake recipes for Pancake Tuesday

Have you heard of the beautiful French holiday that is Mardi Gras? Being a very white and very suburban New Englander, I’ve never participated in any of the festivities down south but have only watched from afar—the costumes, the parades, the dances, oh yeah and the food. And damn if it’s not an interesting holiday. New Orleans has their full day of parades and festivities. Brazil has the enormous five-day Carnival. All around the Anglo-Catholic world people celebrate the day before Lent by relaxing moral codes and breaking out the purple and yellow and green and eating lots of delicious fried foods.

Pretty awesome, no?

So while we may not be the type to ride a float through New Orleans or fast during the month of Lent, we can still enjoy the tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday—which, confusingly, is the same day as Mardi Gras and celebrates much the same things—also known as Pancake Tuesday. For this occasion I’ve put together a giant list of vegan pancakes culled from this blog as well as some other sources.
