Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or coconut)
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian butter, melted (plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and salt until well mixed to create an even base for your batter.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the plant-based milk, melted vegetarian butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and fragrant.
- Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently fold using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine as they help maintain the fluffiness.
- Heat and Cook: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with vegetarian butter and pour batter in small rounds. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Stack the pancakes and add your favorite toppings right away for that classic cozy breakfast feel everyone will love.
Notes
- Don’t overmix: Stir just until ingredients combine to avoid dense pancakes.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh baking powder and plant-based milk improve rise and flavor.
- Preheat pan properly: Medium heat allows even cooking without burning the outside.
- Let batter rest: Give the batter a 5-minute rest to activate the natural gelling agent and lift.
- Control portion size: Use a small scoop or ladle for uniform pancakes that cook evenly.
