These fluffy pancakes are perfect for those who are avoiding milk and butter but still want a delicious breakfast treat. Made with simple ingredients, they are easy to whip up and can be customized with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon for added flavor
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients 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 to thicken slightly.
-
Preheat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
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 the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
-
Serve:
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in chocolate chips, blueberries, or chopped nuts into the batter before cooking.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the amount of almond milk slightly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.
Enjoy your delicious, fluffy dairy-free pancakes!
