Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plant-based milk (unsweetened almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (such as canola or melted coconut oil)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk.'
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Once the 'buttermilk' is ready, add the vanilla extract and oil to the mixture and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite vegan toppings.
