Easy Vegan Pancakes with Plant Milk

Jump to recipe ↓

The source calls these pancakes vegan but mistranslates baking powder in its ingredient list. A teaspoon of baking powder gives the simple flour-and-plant-milk batter its lift without eggs. Whisk the dry ingredients first, add the milk and oil, and mix only until no dry flour remains. A short rest smooths out the batter while you preheat the skillet. Cook small rounds over moderate heat and turn once the edges begin to set and bubbles appear. The centers should be cooked rather than sticky. Serve with fruit or a plant-based topping; ordinary honey is not a vegan ingredient. Try berries for a topping.
