Easy Vegan Pancakes Recipe
Equipment
- 1 Large mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Non-stick frying pan or griddle
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Ladle or 1/4 cup measuring cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- Cooking spray or additional oil for the pan
Instructions
Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice). Stir and set aside for a few minutes to allow it to curdle slightly, creating a vegan "buttermilk."
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar (if using), baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the vanilla extract and oil to the "buttermilk" mixture. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat the Pan:
- Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Once the pan is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Serve:
- Serve the pancakes hot, topped with your favorite vegan butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, or any other toppings of your choice.
