Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This will create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the vanilla extract and vegetable oil. Mix well.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients, including the almond milk mixture, into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a splash of vegetable oil or cooking spray.

Step 6

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, allowing space between them for spreading.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite dairy-free toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt.
