There’s something magical about a stack of pancakes—soft, fluffy, and dripping with syrup. This vegan pancake recipe is simple yet decadent, perfect for a cozy brunch or a quick weekday breakfast. I remember the first time I made these for my friends, who were skeptical about vegan desserts. Their faces lit up with surprise and delight with each bite, and I knew I had created something special. Let’s dive into this deliciousness!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or any granulated sugar)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Creating these pancakes is as easy as flipping them! Follow these simple steps:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This dry mix is the foundation of your fluffy pancakes.

In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure the oil blends with the milk.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps—over-mixing can lead to flat pancakes, and we want them to rise!

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, usually about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer the pancakes to a warm plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. You should have about 6-8 fluffy pancakes!

Stack your pancakes high, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with your favorite fruits like bananas, berries, or a sprinkle of nuts for added texture. Enjoy the soft, warm goodness and watch as your friends turn into pancake lovers!

These pancakes are not just a breakfast option; they can be a delightful dessert too. So go ahead, dig in, and savor the joy of baking something simple yet extraordinary!
