    What is Kaiserschmarrn?

    Kaiserschmarrn is a traditional Austrian dish similar to a fluffy pancake that is torn or scrambled in the pan before being served. Traditionally, Kaiserschmarrn is made with eggs, milk, and flour, and is often cooked with raisins (rum-soaked or not) until golden before serving.

    This vegan version of Kaiserschmarrn uses all-purpose flour, sugar, vegan milk, sparkling mineral water, oil, and powdered sugar to create a delicious and fluffy dessert that is just as easy to make as the classic version.

    It's delicious to serve it alongside stewed cherries and sprinkled with powdered sugar, and you can also add raisins to the pancake batter for some added sweetness and texture. This dish is also fantastic served alongside a sweet drink such as a Vegan Spanish Latte or a refreshing Iced Vanilla Latte to start off the day!

    ❤️ What's Great About this Recipe

    This vegan Kaiserschmarrn recipe is perfect for breakfast or dessert. It's sweet and fluffy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. The raisins provide a burst of sweetness that perfectly complements the dish. And if you're feeling indulgent, you can sprinkle it with some extra powdered sugar when serving.

    If you're a fan of enjoying pancakes for breakfast, don't miss out on this recipe for ultra fluffy Vegan Soufflé Pancakes!

    🌱 Ingredients & Notes

    Here is everything you need for this recipe:

    All ingredients for vegan Kaiserschmarrn are shown on a wooden tray with labels naming: flour, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, caramel sauce, salt, almond milk, powdered sugar, vegan butter, baking powder, coconut oil and cornstarch.
    • Flour - all-purpose flour is used for these torn pancakes, or plain flour, if you’re in the UK. Spelt flour can be used as a substitute. It has a nuttier and sweeter flavor and it is also higher in nutrients such as protein, fiber, and minerals, making it a healthier alternative. For a gluten-free version, you can use a gluten-free flour blend.
    • Cornstarch - helps to lighten the texture of the pancakes.
    • Powdered sugar - for sweetness and the fluffy texture of the Kaiserschmarrn.
    • Baking powder - is used as a leavening agent that makes these pancakes rise and become extra fluffy
    • Plant milk - helps to bind the ingredients together.
    • Coconut oil - adds richness to these torn pancakes.
    • Lemon juice - for a little bit of a tangy flavor. It also helps to activate the baking powder and give the vegan Kaiserschmarrn the rise it deserves.
    • Flavorings - I add vanilla extract and salt for a more complex flavor. You can also add homemade vanilla syrup!
    • Unsalted vegan butter & Sugar - used to caramelize the pancakes before serving. This is optional but creates a more authentic vegan version of traditional Kaiserschmarrn.
    • Nature's Charm Salted Caramel Sauce - for serving! It’s a wonderfully smooth and indulgent sauce that adds a tasty sweet, salty flavor to the final dish.
    • Raisins (optional) - can be added to the batter for extra texture, I like to use golden raisins.

    💡 Tips & Tricks

    Here are some tips and tricks for making perfect vegan Kaiserschmarrn:

    1. Use a well-oiled cast iron skillet: Using a well-oiled cast iron skillet will ensure that your Kaiserschmarrn doesn't stick to the pan and comes out nice and crispy.
    2. Be sure to whisk the batter until it's smooth: Whisking the batter until it's smooth will help to ensure that your Kaiserschmarrn doesn't have any lumps and has a light and fluffy texture.
    3. Caramelize your Kaiserschmarrn: Caramelizing your Kaiserschmarrn by adding vegan margarine and raw cane sugar to the skillet will give it a sweet and crispy finish that's sure to impress.

    🍽️ Serving Suggestions

    Traditionally, the shredded Kaiserschmarrn pieces are served with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. In this recipe, I drizzled a generous serving of Nature's Charm Salted Caramel Sauce on top for an extra indulgent treat! It can also be served with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or applesauce, or you can use Nature’s Charm Butterscotch Sauce for a delicious twist.

    ❄️ How to store

    To store leftover Kaiserschmarrn, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. You can store it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready to eat it, simply reheat it in a skillet over low heat until it's warm. You can also freeze Kaiserschmarrn for up to 2-3 months. To reheat frozen Kaiserschmarrn, thaw it in the fridge overnight and then reheat it in a skillet over low heat until it's warm.
