These fluffy vegan pancakes are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. They are easy to make, delicious, and can be customized with your favorite toppings!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: fresh fruit, maple syrup, vegan butter, nuts, or chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
-
Preheat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
-
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 choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, vegan butter, nuts, or chocolate chips.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of cinnamon or a tablespoon of ground flaxseed to the dry ingredients.
- If you want to make these pancakes even fluffier, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- 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 vegan pancakes!
