In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the granulated sugar and whisk to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix the unsweetened soy milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking gently until you have a smooth batter. Take care not to overmix.
Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature. This will help achieve fluffy pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a little vegetable oil if needed.
Pour a small ladleful (about 2 tablespoons) of the batter onto the skillet to form a small pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, and the edges look slightly dry, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Continue until all the batter is used.
Spread about 1 to 2 tablespoons of red bean paste on one pancake, then top with another to make a sandwich. Gently press together.
Repeat with the remaining pancakes and red bean paste.
Serve the Vegan Dorayaki slightly warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
