Ingredients
- 1 cup lentil flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (or non-stick spray)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 2 tablespoons of water to create flaxseed 'egg'. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lentil flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the flaxseed 'egg'.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. Be careful not to overmix as it may affect the texture of the pancakes.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Step 6
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Step 7
Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter.
