Fluffy Vegan Pancakes
An irresistibly easy vegan pancakes recipe that you can make with only 5 ingredients! How to make vegan pancakes with flour, baking powder, salt, nondairy milk, and coconut oil.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup nondairy milk of choice
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted + additional for frying
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar, coconut sugar, or sweetener (optional)
Optional Mix-In Ideas:
- ⅓-½ cup blueberries or vegan chocolate chips
- 1 banana sliced
Instructions
To make vegan pancakes:
- Whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt).
- Separately, whisk together milk and melted coconut oil (and optional sweetener).
- Add dry mixture into wet mixture and use a spatula to incorporate, without overmixing.
- Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat. (See specific temperatures for griddle below.)
- Melt coconut oil onto surface or spray pan or griddle with cooking spray.
- Use an ice cream scoop (or ¼ cup) to pour batter to create pancakes.
- Cook until bubbles form and bottom surface is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes, then flip. (These will bubble slightly, but not as much as traditional pancakes.) Cook about 1–2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with all batter.
- Serve and enjoy with maple syrup and your favorite toppings!
- Yields 6 pancakes.
To cook on a griddle:
- Turn heat on griddle to medium low (300°F or 150°C) for 5-10 minutes while pancake batter rests. When ready to cook, turn heat up to medium-to-medium high (325-350°F or 165°C-175°C).
- Water Test: Drop a small amount of water on the griddle to see if the temperature is right. If the water sits still on the griddle, the temp is too low; if the water sizzles and evaporates immediately, it’s too hot; if water droplets sizzle but “dance” and move around, the temperature is perfect.
- Follow cooking procedure described above.
