Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 medium Apple, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter or coconut oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 5 minutes to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Once the milk has curdled, add the maple syrup and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix the batter; some lumps are okay.
Fold in the grated apple until it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegan butter or coconut oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional maple syrup, sliced apples, or vegan butter if desired.
