Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 2 tbsp sugar (or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free version)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups plant-based milk (almond, oat, soy, or coconut)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
- Vegan butter or oil for cooking
- Pure maple syrup for serving
Instructions
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a small bowl, mix the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan “buttermilk.”
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the “buttermilk” mixture, then pour it into the dry ingredients.
- Gently mix until just combined. A few lumps are okay—don’t overmix, or your pancakes may turn out dense.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegan butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
-
Serve & Enjoy:
- Stack your warm pancakes and drizzle generously with pure maple syrup.
- Add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, chopped nuts, dairy-free whipped cream, or a dusting of cinnamon.
