Pancakes are a staple in many households and with good reason since they’re so good. But, not everyone knows how to make pancakes with ingredients that aren’t the typical staple pancake ingredients.
In fact, I have some friends who cannot comprehend that you can make good, tasty pancakes with almond milk!
Today, I’ll show you how to make fluffy almond milk pancakes. These pancakes are a great option to try if you’re a vegan or dairy-free eater, if you have no whole or 2% milk or if you’re just looking for something different for breakfast.
Ingredients
Plain flour – The most popular flour for pancakes is plain flour. This is what is used in this recipe, but you can also use other types of flour like self-rising, bread flour, almond flour, or check out other types of pancake-friendly flour here.
Baking powder – Baking powder is a type of leavening used to make bubbles in pancakes. These bubbles make the pancakes fluffy and help them rise. If you have no baking powder, you can find a good substitute for baking powder among this list of common food substitutes here.
Unsweetened almond milk – Almond milk is used here not only because is it a great way to replace milk in vegan or dairy-free pancakes, but it also works as a milk alternative for pancakes even though you’re not following a vegan lifestyle and you just need a quick substitute in a pinch. Both vanilla or plain unsweetened almond milk can work.
Coconut sugar – I used this sugar because it’s more nutritious, but you can use any other type of sugar you have available.
Salt – A dash of salt is needed to help balance out the other ingredients in this pancake recipe.
Melted coconut oil or canola oil – Coconut oil is used here to add some more flavor to the pancakes, but also to help them stay soft, moist, and fresh.
