Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Optional Natural Gelling Agent
- 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent (if a thicker batter is desired)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This ensures even rising and avoids any clumps in your batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vegetable oil, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth. This mixture brings all the sweet, tangy, and rich flavors together.
- Make the Batter: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. A few small lumps are okay; over-mixing will make the pancakes tough instead of fluffy. If desired, add natural gelling agent here for a thicker batter and stir gently.
- Heat Your Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. You’ll know it’s ready when a few drops of water dance on the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the edges and the underside turns golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 1 to 2 minutes until both sides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Serve your Homemade Pancakes hot off the griddle with your favorite toppings and enjoy the cozy taste of a perfect breakfast.
Notes
- Use plant-based milk and oil at room temperature for smoother batter and better rise.
- Stir the batter just until combined to keep pancakes tender and fluffy; do not overmix.
- Maintain medium heat to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
- Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate the rising agents fully.
- Fold fresh or frozen fruits, nuts, or plant-based chocolate chips into batter before cooking for added flavors and texture.
