Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plain vegan yogurt, I use Silk Cultured Coconut Unsweetened Yogurt
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant milk*
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons oil, I usually use grapeseed oil or melted refined coconut oil
  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar or sweetener of choice

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup All Purpose Flour* 
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • oil for cooking pancakes, I use grapeseed oi

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200° to keep pancakes warm as you go.
  2. In a large mixing bowl add the wet ingredients and whisk to combine and set aside.
  3.  In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (not the oil)
  4. Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until combined. Don’t over mix the vegan pancake batter or it could result in  chewy/tough pancakes (It’s ok if a few small lumps remain) Let batter rest for 5 minutes while you preheat the skillet.
  5. Preheat a large non stick skillet to medium heat (if using an electric griddle preheat to 350°) once hot add a drizzle of oil (tablespoon or so)
  6. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop a heaped amount of batter onto the hot pan. Repeat until skillet is full.(I can fit three on my non stick skillet) add more oil if needed as you go
  7. Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes (usually 2-3 minutes). Flip pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. If at any time you find the pan to hot, turn it down to medium low heat.
  8. Serve with vegan butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit and or macerated strawberries if you like and Enjoy!

Notes

  • plant milk: soy milk curdles the best but you can use your favourite, oat milk, almond, etc... or lite coconut milk (canned)
  • For gluten free vegan pancakesTo make these vegan buttermilk pancakes gluten free, simply swap the all-purpose flour for a 1:1 gluten free flour blend.
  • To store: wrap any leftover pancakes in foil or place them in an airtight container and leave them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze: let any leftover pancakes cool completely before placing them into a ziploc bag and storing them in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop your cold or frozen pancakes into the toaster, zap them in the microwave, or toss them into a hot pan and warm them to your desired temperature.
