Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon to ensure even distribution and remove any lumps.
- Add the sugar to the dry ingredients and whisk thoroughly to combine all dry ingredients uniformly.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gently whisk the wet and dry ingredients together, being careful not to overmix. Some small lumps are okay - overmixing can make pancakes tough.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of vegetable oil if needed.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the heated surface. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and edges look slightly dry.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or additional cinnamon sprinkled on top.
Tips
- Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Sifting the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon not only removes lumps but also incorporates air, making your pancakes even fluffier.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix gently. A few small lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Rest the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking helps the flour absorb the liquid and activates the baking powder for a lighter texture.
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your skillet or griddle is at medium heat. Too hot, and the pancakes will burn; too cool, and they won’t cook through.
- Use a Measuring Cup: For uniform pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter onto the skillet.
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook the pancakes, keep the finished ones warm in a low oven (about 200°F) to serve them all together.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Maple syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon can take your pancakes to the next level.
