Perfect for gluten-sensitive diets and vegan-friendly with a few simple tweaks!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure they are well-mixed.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
Once the 'buttermilk' is ready, add maple syrup, egg, and vegetable oil to the mixture and whisk until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Gently fold the corn kernels into the batter.
Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look slightly set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean towel to keep them warm while you prepare the rest.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or dairy-free yogurt.
