Dairy free, soy free, and egg free pancakes

Saturdays are breakfast for lunch or dinner days in our house. I recently bought Purely Decadents new coconut milk beverage (really great, by the way). I discovered that it makes an awesome pancake, so here's my recipe:

2 cups regular Bisquik (pretty sure the low fat crap has dairy)
1/2 c of rice milk
1/2 c of Purely Decadent coconut milk beverage
2 tbsp flax meal
4 tbsp warm water
cinnamon
vanilla
brown sugar

mix your flax meal and warm water and set aside for about four minutes. It should gel. Mix your bisquik, dash of vanilla, dash of cinnamon, about 1/8 c of brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Add your milks (I add a little more because I like a thinner pancake). Add your vanilla and flax meal gel. Let it sit for another minute, then cook on a slightly oiled griddle as normal.

I'm sure you could use a full cup of coconut milk but it'll taste, well, coconutty. Which, while it might be yummy in its own way, isn't what I want on a typical Saturday. I bet it would rock though if you also added half a cup of finely chopped pineapple (and decreased the liquid a bit).

At some point, I intend to see if their coconut milk beverage will make a good pudding, like regular coconut milk does. Hopefully someone at Turtle Mountain will read this and take a hint to make a pre packaged coconut milk pudding. Hint, hint.

Bisqick has SOYBEAN Oil. How can it be soy free??

Soybean oil is highly refined and considered safe for most soy allergics. There should be no soy protein present. Sorry for any confusion
