Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plant-based milk (unsweetened almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (such as canola or melted coconut oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a small mixing bowl, combine the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes to create a vegan 'buttermilk.'
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Once the 'buttermilk' is ready, add the vanilla extract and oil to the mixture and whisk to combine.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
Step 6
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown on the other side.
Step 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 9
Serve warm, topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite vegan toppings.
