Vegan Pineapple Pancakes

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 Cup Flour
• 2 Tbsp Quick Oats
• 1 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1/8 Tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Liquid Sweetener of choice (such as pure maple syrup)
• 1/3 Cup Milk of choice, warmed slightly (minus 1 tbsp ) 
• 2 Tsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
• 4 Pineapple Rings

It would be easier with rings of pineapple but I only had chunky pineapple so  I just pressed those in, still tasted tropical

Directions

1. In a cereal bowl, combine all dry ingredients except pineapple, and stir very well. 
2. In a separate bowl, combine all liquid ingredients.
3. Pour dry into wet, and stir together to form a batter. 
4. Grease a skillet, then turn the heat to medium. Test the heat of your skillet by throwing a few drops of water onto the surface. When the water sizzles, the pan is ready for the pancake batter. 
5. Turn skillet to low-medium and drop about 1/4 of the batter onto the skillet, then spread out and lightly place one pineapple round in the middle, pushing down just a little. Repeat with another pancake.
6. Flip pancakes over when the edges become firm and they are able to be flipped without breaking. Continue cooking until desired doneness is reached.

Makes 4 super-thick pancakes.

Easy Vegan Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

• 2-½ Cups Bread Or All-Purpose Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Yeast
• 1 Teaspoon Salt
• 1-⅓ Cup Very Warm Tap Water
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Preparation

1. Place 1 cup of flour, yeast and salt in a large bowl and mix to combine. Use bread flour if you have it, but I’ve used all-purpose many, many times and it’s fine.
2. Add 1 1/3 cups very warm tap water and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix well. 
3. Add additional flour, about another 1 1/2 cups until dough forms a loose ball. 
4. Knead for 3-5 minutes. Cover and allow dough to rise for about an hour. Rising time is somewhat flexible I use it after 15-30 minutes if I was in a hurry. 
5. Divide dough into four portions.
6. Place each portion on a sprayed pizza pan or cookie sheet and pat out into about a 12-inch circle.
7. If your dough is sticky, add a little extra flour. If it resists stretching, let it rest for a little bit. A minute or two can make a big difference.
8. Preheat your oven to 425 F. Use a fork to poke holes all over the pizza dough. Bake for about 5-9 minutes until crust is set but make sure to remove it from the oven before it begins to brown too much.
9. Add pizza sauce, and desired toppings. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven when its cooked to your liking

 Instructions 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the ingredients for the filling together,. Combine oats, flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl for the topping. Cut in the margarine until it becomes a crumbly appearing mixture. Pour the filling ingredients in to a square baking dish. Pat it down as much as possible. Pour the topping evenly over the filling, pressing it down to make a flattened crust. Insert it in to the oven. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the filling mixture is bubbling around the sides and the top is a dark golden brown. Remove and let sit for 15 minutes before serving.
