✅ Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious vegan pancakes:
Dry Ingredients:
✔ 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)
✔ 2 tablespoons sugar (or maple syrup for natural sweetness)
✔ 1 tablespoon baking powder (for fluffiness)
✔ ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
✔ 1 ¼ cups non-dairy milk (like almond, soy, or oat milk)
✔ 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
✔ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
✔ 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or any neutral Ingredients.
✅ Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Vegan Buttermilk
In a bowl, mix the non-dairy milk with apple cider vinegar.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. This creates a "buttermilk" effect that makes pancakes extra fluffy!
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
This ensures an even texture and avoids lumps.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
Add the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil to the buttermilk mixture.
Stir well until combined.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Gently mix with a whisk or spoon until just combined.
Don't overmix! A few lumps are okay – they help keep the pancakes fluffy.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or vegan butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Enjoy
Stack the pancakes on a plate.
Drizzle with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of peanut butter.
✅ Tips for the Best Vegan Pancakes
✔ Don’t Overmix – Stir the batter just until combined. Over mixing leads to dense pancakes.
✔ Let the Batter Rest – Letting it sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking helps the baking powder activate, making the pancakes fluffier.
✔ Use a Good Non-Stick Pan – This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.
✔ Control the Heat – Medium heat is best. Too high, and the pancakes burn outside but stay raw inside. Too low, and they won’t cook through properly.
✔ Add Extras – Blueberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon, or even mashed banana can make them even tastier.
✅ Health Benefits
These vegan pancakes are not only delicious but also packed with health benefits:
✔ No Cholesterol – Since they’re egg-free and dairy-free, they’re heart-healthy.
✔ Lower in Saturated Fat – Using plant-based milk and coconut oil keeps them light.
✔ High in Fiber (If Using Whole Wheat Flour) – Great for digestion and gut health.
✔ No Artificial Additives – Unlike store-bought pancake mixes, these are made with fresh ingredients.
✅ Frequently Asked Questions
