Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar (coconut sugar or maple sugar for a healthier option)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruits, nuts, or dairy-free yogurt

Instructions
 

In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a vegan buttermilk.

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

      Add the almond milk mixture, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is perfectly fine!

        Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray if necessary.

          Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes.

            Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

              Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.

                Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, nuts, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt.
