Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat for extra fiber
- 1 tbsp baking powder for fluffiness
- 2 tbsp sugar or maple syrup for a refined sugar-free option
- 1 cup plant-based milk almond, oat, or soy
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar reacts with baking powder for extra rise
- 1 tsp vanilla extract for that hint of sweetness

- Maple syrup for drizzling—don’t skimp!
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
- Mix plant-based milk, vinegar, and vanilla in a separate bowl.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid over-mixing.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes to activate fluffiness.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it.

- Cook until bubbles form on top (about 2 minutes), then flip.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked pancakes warm.
- Stack them high, drown them in maple syrup, and enjoy.
