Method
Main Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the plant-based milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly (this creates a 'vegan buttermilk'). Then, whisk in the oil and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This is crucial for fluffy pancakes!
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look dry.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, and vegan butter.

Notes
Do not overmix the batter! A few lumps are perfectly fine and are the key to a tender, fluffy pancake.
For an extra rich flavor, use full-fat oat milk or soy milk and melted vegan butter instead of oil.
