Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 0.75 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Dairy-free cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing a flax egg. In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water. Mix well and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let this mixture sit for a few minutes to curdle, creating a buttermilk substitute.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Add the flax egg, almond milk mixture, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still have some lumps.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded dairy-free cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with additional coconut oil if needed.

Step 7

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, the edges begin to look dry, and the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden and cooked through.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dairy-free butter, maple syrup, or fruit topping.

Step 10

Enjoy your dairy-free fluffy cheese pancakes with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a complete breakfast experience.
