These fluffy pancakes are perfect for a delicious breakfast or brunch, and they are made without any milk! Enjoy them with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or dairy-free yogurt.
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 (plus more for cooking)
- 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 water (or dairy-free milk alternative), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir 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. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil.
-
Cook the Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot 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 them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
Tips
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
- You can add mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the batter before cooking for added flavor.
- 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!
