Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Plant-Based Milk (Almond, Soy, or Oat)
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Vegan Butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. The apple cider vinegar helps to activate the baking powder, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps are okay.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, vegan whipped cream, or chocolate chips.

FAQ

  • Why do I need apple cider vinegar?

    Apple cider vinegar reacts with the baking powder to create carbon dioxide, which makes the pancakes lighter and fluffier. You can substitute with lemon juice if you prefer.
  • Can I use whole wheat flour?

    Yes, you can substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Start with replacing 1/4 cup and adjust to taste.
  • What if I don't have vegan butter?

    You can substitute the melted vegan butter with melted coconut oil or vegetable oil.
