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)
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

For Toppings:

  • Fresh berries
  • Maple syrup
  • Sliced bananas
  • Vegan butter
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix well.
  3. 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

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of vegetable oil or cooking spray.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, sliced bananas, vegan butter, and chopped nuts.
  2. 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.
