Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Batter:
    • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
    • 1.5 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Filling:
    • 1 cup sweet red bean paste (anko) or any filling you love!

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

Slowly add 1.5 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter.

Step 3: Heat the Taiyaki Pan

Grab your taiyaki pan and gently heat it over medium heat.

Step 4: Grease and Fill the Molds

Lightly grease the taiyaki molds using a little oil, then pour the batter into each mold until it is halfway full.

Step 5: Add the Filling

Spoon a generous amount of sweet red bean paste (1 cup in total) into the center of each fish-shaped mold. Add a little more batter on top to cover the filling completely.

Step 6: Cook the Taiyaki

Close the lid of the taiyaki pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the treats are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove the taiyaki from the pan, serve warm, and enjoy the deliciousness of your vegan treats!
