How to Make Fluffy Vegan Pancakes
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk, water, vanilla extract and oil and gently mix. Pro tip: Don’t overmix! A few lumps are totally fine, this keeps the pancakes fluffy.
Cook to Perfection: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and grease it with a little canola oil or coconut oil.
Drop about ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan.
Flip When Ready: Once you see bubbles forming on the surface, flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy! Top with maple syrup, and/or fresh fruit, or drizzle with peanut butter!
