In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Add the vanilla extract and oil to the almond milk mixture and stir to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter may have some lumps, which is fine. Avoid over-mixing.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegan butter or oil.
Spoon tablespoon-sized amounts of batter onto the skillet to form mini pancakes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set, about 1-2 minutes.
Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve the mini pancakes warm, topped with your favorite vegan-friendly toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or nut butter.
