Method

BREAKFAST

  1. 1

    Prepare vegan buttermilk

    In a measuring cup, combine the plant-based milk with the lemon juice. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened and curdled, creating vegan buttermilk.

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Whisk wet ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk the prepared vegan buttermilk with the oil until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine batter

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Rest batter

    Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to hydrate the flour and activate the leaveners.

  6. 6

    Cook pancakes

    Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with a little oil. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Stack pancakes and serve warm with maple syrup, fruit, or your favorite vegan toppings.
