Best Ever Fluffy Vegan Pancake Recipe
This easy to follow recipe makes the best homemade vegan buttermilk pancakes in less than 30 minutes. (Mixing apple cider vinegar with non-dairy milk creates “buttermilk”.) Weekends will never be the same.
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 20
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 6 pancakes 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup flour (all-purpose)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
- 1 cup + 3 1/2 tablespoon non-dairy milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil plus more for cooking
Instructions
- Whisk ground flax seed with non-dairy milk in pourable measuring cup. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and set aside to thicken.
- In a medium bowl, stir dry ingredients together until combined.
- Melt 1 tablespoon coconut oil in microwave.
- Form a well in the middle of dry ingredients.
- Stir melted coconut oil into the nut-milk vinegar mixture. Gently pour into the dry ingredient well.
- Fold the flour into the liquid, mixing gently and as little as possible to incorporate the flour with the liquid, leaving the batter pretty lumpy. You shouldn’t see any dry flour, but you should not have a smooth batter by any means.
- Warm a well-seasoned cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Melt a tablespoon of coconut oil and wait 3 – 5 minutes until almost smoking. A hot pan is essential.
- Using 1/4 cup measuring cup, add batter to the pan and tip it around to spread out the batter a little. Wait until you see bubbles over most of the surface of the pancake before flipping, about 2 minutes. Cook the second side for another 1 1/2 minutes.
- Be sure to add more coconut oil to the pan between pancakes. Maybe I use too much oil, but the extra oil makes my pancakes crunchy and delicious.
- If you are keeping pancakes warm in an oven to serve them all at once, place them on a cooling rack on a baking sheet in the warm oven. Otherwise, they will get soggy if you put them on a plate or a baking sheet.
Notes
I never get a pretty first pancake. I don’t know if I don’t wait long enough for my pan to get hot or if it’s the pan not having enough oil on the first round, but that first one still tastes amazing.
