Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, oat)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable, canola, or melted coconut oil)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside for 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the prepared vegan buttermilk, vanilla extract, and neutral oil to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Some lumps in the batter are fine; do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or vegan butter.

Step 5

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or vegan whipped cream.
