Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) (optional for savory versions)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, natural gelling agent, and brown sugar until evenly combined to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and flavor.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural), oil, and optional vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes to activate and slightly curdle, creating the proper acidity to react with the baking powder.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just blended. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes soft and fluffy rather than tough.
- Cook Your Pancakes: Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip carefully and cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with pure maple syrup or fruit compote (natural), and enjoy a heartwarming breakfast.
Notes
- Use medium heat during cooking for even pancakes without burning.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to fully activate the natural gelling agent.
- Use fresh baking powder for better rise and lighter texture.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
