Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (natural gelling agent included)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional variations:
    • Fresh or frozen berries
    • Plant-based chocolate chips or cocoa powder
    • Gluten-free flour blend (substitute all-purpose flour)
    • Spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom
    • Plant-based protein powder

Additional

  • Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), optional small amount

Instructions

  1. Prepare the wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup (natural). Let this mixture sit for a few minutes to activate the natural gelling agent. Stir in the melted plant-based butter and vanilla extract (natural) until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural gelling agent included), and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes tender and light.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Spoon 1/3 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on top, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve warm: Stack the freshly cooked pancakes on a plate and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Do not over-mix the batter; lumps help maintain fluffiness.
  • Use fresh baking powder for best rising results.
  • Maintain medium pan temperature to cook pancakes evenly and avoid burning.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes to fully activate the natural gelling agent.
  • Flip pancakes when bubbles form and edges are set.
