Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 1/4 cups of plant-based milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
For Toppings:
- Fresh berries
- Maple syrup
- Sliced bananas
- Vegan butter

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 3: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, sliced bananas, vegan butter, and chopped nuts.
- Enjoy the fluffy, delicious pancakes with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Tips and Variations:
- Flavor Boost: Add a teaspoon of cinnamon or a handful of chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour.
- Berry Compote: Make a quick berry compote by simmering fresh or frozen berries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice until thickened.
