Light, tender, and airy almond milk pancakes that are dairy-free and egg-free, perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon to evenly distribute the baking powder and avoid clumps.
  2. In another bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes to curdle slightly.
  3. Whisk in vanilla extract and oil into the almond milk mixture.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Small lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Test by sprinkling water drops; if they dance and evaporate, it’s ready.
  6. Lightly grease the skillet with oil or butter. Pour ¼ cup (60ml) batter per pancake.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and tent loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking the rest.
  9. Serve immediately or keep warm in a low oven (200°F/90°C) for 10–15 minutes.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use fresh baking powder for best fluffiness. Let the almond milk and vinegar mixture sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk-like effect. Adjust heat to medium to avoid burning or undercooking. Flip pancakes only once when bubbles appear and edges look set.
