Description
These fluffy vegan pancakes are a perfect breakfast treat made without any animal products. They are light, tender, and easy to prepare using simple pantry ingredients. The batter combines all-purpose flour, baking powder, and non-dairy milk, resulting in soft pancakes with a hint of vanilla and buttery flavor from melted vegan butter. Ideal for those following a vegan or dairy-free diet, these pancakes cook quickly on the stovetop to golden perfection with optional crispy edges.
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 2 tablespoons melted vegan butter
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt ensuring they are evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract. Gently stir until just incorporated. The batter should remain lumpy — avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. For crispy edges, add a teaspoon or two of vegan butter to the pan and allow it to melt before adding batter.
- Cook Pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook each pancake for approximately 3-4 minutes until the top surface begins to bubble and the underside is golden brown.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes gently and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the other side is also golden brown and the pancake is fully cooked through.
Notes
- Make sure to use baking powder, not baking soda, to get the fluffy texture.
- Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay and help create lighter pancakes.
- For extra flavor and texture, add vegan butter to the pan before cooking each pancake.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste, or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
