If you’re not from Germany or Austria, you may not know „Kaiserschmarrn“. However, that’s okay because we’re gonna change that right now! Otherwise, it would be fatal because Kaiserschmarrn is simply one of the most delicious breakfasts in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!
It’s kind of a fluffy pancake, ripped in Pieces. Just way better!

It’s usually made out of whipped up egg whites, flour, milk, and sugar, so evidently not that vegan-friendly or healthy. But since I love it so much, I tried to „veganize“ the whole thing and add some nutrition to it as well.

Well, I basically came up with a whole new recipe, to be honest, but that’s okay because it does not taste worse than the original version in any way. It might be even more enjoyable since you know you’re not eating any crap, and actually doing your body a favor by nourishing it with some good stuff.

This recipe is refined sugar-free and entirely fruit-sweetened, as well as low in fat but high in fiber.

The traditional recipe also calls for raisins in the batter, which just gives it that certain something, you know? So I would highly recommend adding them! But if you belong to that odd group of people, that absolutely refuses to just lick on a raisin, because you can’t stand the taste of them, you can obviously leave them out.
Try adding some chopped almonds to the batter. That’s really good as well.

Okay, so I hope I have convinced you to try out Kaiserschmarrn. If yes, let me know how you liked it. I bet you love it.😉

I prefer my Kaiserschmarrn with applesauce. But many People eat it with vanilla-sauce or just plain with powdered sugar.

Just try whatever you like best.

Heres the recipe:

Serves 1-2
You’ll need:

1/2 cup/ 60g flour *
3 tbsp/ 45g applesauce*
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp soy flour
1/4 cup/ 60g plant-based milk
dash of Tsp salt
Optional: Raisins or chopped Almonds

  1. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch.
  2. Mix about 2 tbsp of your plant-based milk with the soy flour and stir into the remaining milk. Add the applesauce, and stir again.
  3. Add mixture to the dry ingredients, and combine everything.
  4. Add more or less milk depending on how thick your batter is. You want your batter to be a little thicker than regular pancake batter.
  5. Optional add raisins or chopped almonds.
  6. Preheat a pan on medium heat. If you don’t have a nonstick pan, spray your pan slightly with cooking spray.
  7. Add all the batter at once (If using a really small pan, make two batches. You want a layer of about half an inch or 1 Centimeter.), and let brown on one side for about 30 seconds.
  8. Then take a spatula and rip in pieces. Let brown, while moving once in a while until everything is nice and golden brown.Optional:

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and/ or serve with applesauce and roasted, sliced almonds.

*I used a mix of spelt flour and whole wheat flour.
*You can sub for one mashed banana if you don’t mind the taste.
