These fluffy dairy-free pancakes are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. They are easy to make and deliciously satisfying, ensuring everyone at the table will enjoy them!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any dairy-free milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, dairy-free yogurt, or nut butter
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that the leavening agents are evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon 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.
Step 4: Preheat the Pan
While the batter is resting, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Once the pan 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. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, dairy-free yogurt, or nut butter.
Enjoy!
These dairy-free pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone, whether they are dairy-free or not. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
