These fluffy pancakes are perfect for those who want a delicious breakfast without butter or milk. They are light, airy, and can be customized with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water (or dairy-free milk alternative, such as almond milk or oat milk)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Cooking spray or additional oil for the skillet
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the water, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until well mixed.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and will help create fluffier pancakes.
-
Preheat the Skillet:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Flip and Finish Cooking:
Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven if desired.
-
Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy your delicious, dairy-free pancakes!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- You can also add blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter for extra texture and taste.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Enjoy your fluffy dairy-free pancakes!
