Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Some small lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in half of the vegan sprinkles into the batter, reserving the remaining sprinkles for topping.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or vegan butter if needed.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the heated surface, leaving enough space between each pancake for easy flipping.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm, garnishing with the remaining vegan sprinkles and optional toppings like additional maple syrup or vegan whipped cream.
Tips
- Sift Your Dry Ingredients: Sifting the flour, baking powder, and salt not only helps to eliminate lumps but also aerates the flour, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
- Use a Non-Stick Surface: A non-stick skillet or griddle is key for perfectly cooked pancakes. If you don’t have one, make sure to lightly grease your cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Watch for Bubbles: Keep an eye on your pancakes while they cook! Small bubbles forming on the surface indicate it’s time to flip. This ensures they’re cooked through without burning.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Serve your pancakes with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of vegan whipped cream for an extra special treat.
