Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon vegan butter
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (for syrup)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl or measuring cup, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute to a form a vegan 'buttermilk'.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and canola oil to the 'buttermilk' mixture and whisk until blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little vegan butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look firm, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 8

For the homemade syrup, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, and water in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 9

Stir until the sugar dissolves completely, then let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 10

Remove from the heat and stir in the vegan butter and vanilla extract for the syrup.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes warm with homemade syrup drizzled on top.
