Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
For Cooking
- 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent until well combined and airy. This ensures even distribution of the leavening and smooth batter texture.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the coconut cream, plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural). Whisk until smooth and creamy to create a rich liquid base full of flavor and moisture.
- Combine and Stir Gently: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy. Small lumps are okay and will disappear during cooking.
- Heat the Pan and Cook: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Stack your pancakes on a plate, optionally adding your favorite toppings or spreads. Serve immediately for the fluffiest texture and richest flavor experience.
Notes
- Bring coconut cream and plant-based milk to room temperature to blend more easily.
- Stir batter just enough to combine ingredients and avoid dense pancakes.
- Cook pancakes at medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to activate the natural gelling agent and improve texture.
- Flip pancakes carefully once edges look set and bubbles form to prevent breaking.
