Vegan Pancakes Made With Aquafaba

In the world of vegan cooking, nothing has shaken things up like aquafaba—the recently coined term for the liquid inside a can of cooked beans. In a stand mixer, that liquid can be transformed into a creamy, fine, stable foam with the texture, density, and many of the cooking properties of an egg white–based meringue. Today, we're using it to make light, fluffy pancakes.

This chickpea-based mayonnaise ends up light, creamy, completely grease-free, and stiff enough to hold its shape when you mound it up, but loose enough to spread easily over a sandwich. I'm not tasting it side by side with real, egg-based mayo because I'm still staying vegan this month, but I'd put it up against any homemade mayo out there. Best of all, it takes only two minutes to make.
