If you've bought in to Veganuary or if you're looking to remove dairy and animal bi-products from your diet this year.
We have good news, you can do just that while still eating your favorite things.
If those favorite things include pancakes, biscuits and waffles. Read more of our list of vegan replacements and substitutes!
Instead of eggs use:
Flaxseed or Chia Seed Eggs
Combine 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water to replace one egg.
These seeds create a gel-like consistency, adding moisture and binding properties to your recipes.
Applesauce
Replace each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce.
Applesauce adds moisture and works well in recipes where a subtle apple flavor won't overpower the dish.
Banana
1/4 cup mashed ripe banana can replace one egg.
Bananas lend natural sweetness and moisture, making them an excellent substitute in muffins, pancakes, and quick breads.
Instead of dairy and butter use:
Non-Dairy Milk
Almond, soy, coconut, oat, and rice milk are fantastic alternatives to cow's milk.
Choose the one that complements the flavor profile of your recipe.
Vegan Butter
Substitute traditional butter with plant-based alternatives like coconut oil, avocado, or vegan margarine.
Coconut Yogurt
Replace regular yogurt with coconut or almond-based yogurt for a creamy texture and added flavor.
Instead of honey use:
Maple Syrup, like Barlow's real Maple syrup.
Binding Agents:
Aquafaba
The liquid from canned chickpeas is an excellent egg white substitute, providing aeration and stability in recipes like meringues and mousses.
Arrowroot
Use these starches to thicken sauces and fillings in your baked goods.

ONE: the right ingredients.
TWO: a well heated cooking surface.
THREE: flip when you see bubbles.
It can be a challenge to find the best flours and ingredients when you need them. Barlow's 3 in 1 pancake biscuit and waffle mix makes making pancakes easy and delicous every time! it's a great idea to keep a bag or two in the kitchen and ready for when a pancake craving calls.
We suggest flour bases that are clean and better for you. Like in our Original 3 in 1 mix the flour is organic, unbleached and unenriched. The mix is free from artificial flavors and aluminum. Having clean ingredients will give better tasting pancakes.
When cooking, a stove top or griddle both make perfect options. If cooking for a large crowd griddles work better because you can cook more at a time. The trick is to make sure that the surface is well and evenly heated prior to placing any batter on the surface to cook.
The thought of pancakes is enough to get anyone excited. But not to fast when cooking, time each flip by waiting for the pancake batter to bubble when on the heated surface. Because flipping too soon leads to undercooked pancakes. Make sure to wait until bubbles surface flip and cook on the other side.
Enjoy, and top with fresh fruit, syrup or both!

]]>Small-scale farmers are the backbone of our food system, producing high-quality fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products that are essential to our health and vitality. These farmers work tirelessly to grow crops that are free from harmful chemicals and pesticides, using sustainable practices that protect the environment and ensure the long-term viability of their land.
When we support small farmers, we are not only investing in the health and well-being of ourselves and our families, but we are also investing in the health and well-being of our local communities. Farmers' markets and community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs provide an opportunity for us to connect with our neighbors and the farmers who grow our food, creating a sense of community and shared responsibility for the land that sustains us.
In addition to the health benefits of fresh, local ingredients, supporting local farmers also has economic benefits. Small-scale agriculture creates jobs and supports local businesses, helping to keep money in the local economy and promoting sustainable economic growth.
As someone who runs a small business that relies on fresh, high-quality ingredients, I am deeply grateful to the farmers who work tirelessly to produce the food that we eat. Without them, my business would not be possible, and I would be forced to rely on products that lack the flavor, nutrition, and quality that we have come to expect.
So the next time you sit down to enjoy a meal made with fresh, locally grown ingredients, take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the farmers who made it possible. And if you're not already doing so, consider making a commitment to support local farmers by shopping farmers' markets, joining a CSA program, or seeking out businesses that prioritize locally sourced ingredients. Your taste buds, your health, and your community will thank you.

Fluffy and delicious, these pancakes are the perfect way to start your day and are made even better when served with pure grade A maple syrup. What makes buttermilk pancakes so special is the use of buttermilk in the batter.
Buttermilk is a cultured dairy product that is made from milk that has been fermented. This gives the batter a tangy flavor and helps to create a light and fluffy texture. The acid in the buttermilk reacts with the baking powder to create a tender crumb, making these pancakes some of the best you'll ever taste.
To make the best of your buttermilk pancakes use pure maple syrup as a topping. Unlike other syrups that are made with artificial flavors and high fructose corn syrup, pure maple syrup is made from the sap of maple trees and has a natural, sweet flavor. It's an excellent source of antioxidants and has a rich, complex taste that pairs perfectly with tangy buttermilk pancakes.
Here's how to make the best buttermilk pancakes with pure maple syrup:
Ingredients:
Step 1
In a large bowl, beat eggs then mix in buttermilk and melted butter.
Step 2
Combine mixture into dry mix and stir until slightly lumpy. Be sure not to over mix. As over mixing may result in tough textured pancakes...and we don't want that.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Serve the hot pancakes with a generous pouring of pure maple syrup.
Enjoy your delicious and fluffy buttermilk pancakes with pure maple syrup! These pancakes are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch, or for a quick and easy meal any day of the week.
The combination of tangy buttermilk and rich, sweet pure maple syrup makes for a breakfast that's both satisfying and delicious.

We are happy to report that breakfast staples like pancakes can stay on the table with these 5 delicious but healthier topping options.
Topping one butter, just kidding. Well kind of butter is on the list but it's the like of nut butters not the traditional dairy based butters.
1). Almond butter -
A favorite around these parts almond butter not only makes a great topping for pancakes and waffles. It can also be used as a sub for butter and or added to the batter for an extra boost of protein. When using on top whip it up a bit for a lighter creamier addition.
2). Fresh fruit -
Fruit, cake and holidays in the same sentence. Oh the drag but we've added a kick to this option to spike things up just a bit (wink). Use seasonal fruit but mix with a splash of champagne and agave or honey. This makes a light and refreshingly fresh syrup perfect to top your morning meal without the guilt.
3). Granola -
Make your own or grab a pre-made mix. One thigs for sure is that you will not go wrong with granola. Sprinkle on top of a warm stack of pancakes, granola adds the perfect texture to each and every bite. And it's better for you.
4). Toasted coconut -
Toasted coconut is super easy to make. Set the oven at 350 degrees and place a handful of shredded coconut on a sheet. Cook until crispy and lightly browned remove, let cool and sprinkle as needed.
5). Yogurt -
A spoonful of yogurt goes a long way! Flavored or plain add this ready to go topping and enjoy breakfast.
Happy new year! Don't let diets and trends intimidate you this year. There are so many better for you foods that you can indulge in. As we like to say, you don't have to eat different to eat better.

This leaves us wondering, is Christmas cancelled this year?!
We think not!
Yes, we are not back to the way that things once were, but that doesn't mean that we can't make the most out of the situation. It really all comes back to what the holidays mean for you.
How do you define the holidays? For us the holidays have always been about family, time to reflect and catch up with loved ones. Even if that catching up is done via phone or in a virtual setting such as zoom or Facebook messenger.
In addition to catching up with loved ones, food is definitely a top priority and center of attention for the holidays.
One thing that may be cancelled this season is the traditional holiday dinner as many opt for earlier gatherings or a more creative approach.
We recently prepared and enjoyed a delicious breakfast spread fit to accommodate just about anyone. So, if you have skipped the idea of travel plans this holiday season and hunkering down in your home. We have a few ideas to keep you full, entertained and in the holiday spirit.
1). Enjoy a virtual brunch
Our breakfast boxes are packed with everything that you need to have a full-on breakfast for 2 - 6 people. Ordering these boxes ahead and scheduling online time to cook together is a great way to connect and enjoy family and friends virtually.
2). Breakfast charcuterie boards
Boards are a great way to entertain and accommodate guest. Prepare boards with a variety of options to satisfy everyone's needs. They are also great conversation starters and talking pieces if you select fun seasonal items as a part of the menu. We recently created a breakfast board that included tons of fruits, vegan and non-vegan items along with breakfast favorites like waffles, pancakes and biscuits. This was a hit and everyone was satisfied and went back for seconds.
3). Breakfast in bed
Stay home and stay in bed, and don't feel guilty about it. We have had plenty of holidays filled with hustle and bustle. Take advantage of our current nontraditional happenings and just enjoy your time in the house with limited or now company. Whip up breakfast and enjoy a movie and the comfort of your own home.
Whatever you decide we are wishing you all wonderful and safe holiday. Hoping that everyone at the least finds ways to remain in good spirits and even the simplest things to be grateful for. As with anything else these current times will past and it is the memories that we choose to create that last years beyond us.
How will you spend the holiday this year?
Happy holidays from Barlow's Foods team and family!

]]>As a child I remember always wanting to eat what the adults were eating. No kids’ meals for me. Having an advanced palate at an early age led me to experiment with seasonings, spices, and grains. Excited that there was a world beyond the normal ingredients that were commonly known fueled me even further.
My mother and her siblings grew up on a farm with my grandparents, in California. Yes, there are farms in California. My grandfather was a farmer, raising crops and tending to animals was a part of his everyday life.
Growing up food was always at the center. From family gatherings, dinners, or that special chance to dine out. I have countless moments centered around food.
Matching my passion for food, real whole quality ingredients and my grandfather’s legacy is the root of Barlow’s Foods. Each and every recipe is crafted with you in mind and the opportunity to assist with creating great moments and memories for years to come that are centered around delicious better for you food.
]]>Nonetheless if you’ve thought it or wondered… How do I make pancakes like a pro? The below are the best foundational tips you need to be well on your way to making the best pancakes, ever.
Ingredients are important when cooking but before we get into the ingredients, we have to make sure that we are using the right tools. Non-stick pans and griddles are great for making pancakes but we prefer and recommend a good ol’ cast iron skillet. Yes, like grandma’s.
So, you’ve got the cast iron skillet…check! The next step is making sure that the cast iron skillet is well and evenly heated. This means placing your cast iron on the stove to warm up before you start locating and mixing ingredients. Remember when cooking we cook with the heat of the surface. This reduces the chance of over or under cooking and burning. Who likes burnt pancakes? You guessed it, no one.
Okay so our cast iron is on the stove, now let’s move onto the ingredients. We’re going to roll with the traditional cooking instructions feel free to sub non-dairy equivalents if you have dietary restrictions.
1 – cup Barlow’s original pancake mix
¼ - cup butter
1 – cup of milk (less/more for desired thickness)
1 – egg (divided)
First be sure to whisk the dry ingredients. We make a habit of this just incase any of the dry ingredients have settled. Whisking before adding “wet” ingredients makes sure that all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
After whisking dry ingredients add ¼ cup of melted butter, we recommend unsalted butter but salted is fine if that is your preference. Mix to coat pancake flour as much as possible then add your milk. Pour the milk slowly into the bowl to make sure that you get the desired thickness of batter. 1 cup of milk works, more milk will give you a thinner pancake while adding less milk will yield thicker pancakes.
Next is a really fun step. Separate the egg yolk from the egg white. Add the egg yolk into the pancake batter mixture and mix until the pancake batter is slightly lumpy. Be sure not to over mix. Take the separated egg white and beat until frothy. This can be done by whisking very quickly or using a hand-held mixer.
Adding a whipped egg white separately gives pancakes a lift. This simple step actually makes pancakes fluffy and lighter than ever.
Once the egg white is nice and frothy gently fold the egg white into the pancake batter mixture. When folding the egg white into the mixture do so as delicate as possible as you don’t want to over mix the pancake batter mixture. Let pancake better sit for a second and get ready to head over the stove to get these hot cakes flipping.
The cast iron skillet should be hot and ready at this point. Using a butter knife take a “smidgen” of butter and run it across and around the cast iron skillet in a circular motion. The butter should be sizzling.
Using a ¼ cup measuring cup scoop pancake batter and add to the cast iron skillet. You should see a ring of butter forming and bubbling around the pancake cake. Ummmmmmm…..hello crispy edges. Once the pancake begins to bubble that is a sign that it’s time to flip the pancake over. Flip over and cook for 1-2 minutes on the opposite side. While cooking take a “smidgen” of butter and in a circular motion run across the top of the pancake.
Complete this process until all batter is used. Serve hot and enjoy!
