In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for a minute to curdle, creating a vegan buttermilk effect.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil to the vegan buttermilk mixture. Whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil if needed.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from the skillet and repeat until all the batter is used.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with 1/2 cup of maple syrup.
