Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or maple syrup for a healthier option)
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/4 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: maple syrup, fresh fruit, nuts, or dairy-free yogurt
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 almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well to mix all the wet ingredients together.
-
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. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
-
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 or cooking spray.
-
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 on the other side, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven if needed.
-
Serve:
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, nuts, or dairy-free yogurt. Enjoy your delicious, fluffy vegan pancakes!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some cinnamon or vanilla extract into the batter.
- You can also add blueberries, chocolate chips, or chopped nuts to the batter for extra texture and taste.
- If the batter is too thick, add a little more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
Enjoy your egg-free and butter-free pancakes!
