How to make Vegan buttermilk (step 1)
In a bowl, combine non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar.
Let it sit for 5-10 minutes. It creates a "buttermilk" effect, resulting in super fluffy pancakes!
Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
This will ensure a smooth texture and eliminates lumps.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the vanilla extract and melted coconut oil into the buttermilk mixture.
Stir well until combined.
Step 4: Make the Batter
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.
Gently stir with a whisk or spoon until just combined.
Don't overmix! A few lumps are fine — they help keep the pancakes fluffy.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
In a non-stick pan or griddle, heat over medium heat. Grease lightly with oil or vegan butter.
Lightly grease a pan, and pour about ¼ cup of batter onto it.
Fry for 2-3 minutes till bubbles appear on the surface.
Carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 6: Enjoy
Pile the pancakes on a plate.
Top with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a spoon of peanut butter.
✅ Get The Best Vegan Pancakes Tips
✔ Don’t Overmix – Only mix until the batter comes together. Over mixing yields dense pancakes.
✔ Let the Batter Rest – Allowing the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking allows the baking powder to work its magic, making the pancakes lighter and fluffier.
✔ Use a Good Non-Stick Pan – This prevents sticking and ensures even cooking.
✔ Heat Control (medium) Too high a temperature and the pancakes come out burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. If the heat is too low, they won’t cook through properly.
✔ Add Extras — blueberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon or even mashed banana can make them even better tasting.
