Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well mixed and any lumps are broken up.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix - some small lumps are okay and will help create fluffy pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate and the flour to absorb the liquid, which will help create a lighter texture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or use a non-stick cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated surface. Cook until bubbles form on the top of the pancake and the edges start to look dry, which typically takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. The pancake should be a nice light golden color.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning. Add a small amount of oil to the pan between batches if necessary.
- Serve warm with your favorite vegan toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine and will help achieve that fluffy texture you desire.
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 3-5 minutes gives the baking powder time to activate, resulting in lighter pancakes. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect fluffiness!
- Temperature Control: Make sure your skillet or griddle is at medium heat. If it’s too hot, the pancakes may burn on the outside while remaining raw on the inside. Adjust the heat as needed for even cooking.
- Grease Sparingly: Use a minimal amount of oil or non-stick spray to lightly grease the skillet. This helps prevent sticking without making the pancakes greasy.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve the pancakes warm. If you need to keep them warm, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) until ready to serve.
- Customize Your Toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Try fresh fruits, vegan yogurt, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup to elevate your pancake experience.
