Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegan butter, melted
  • 2 cups plant based milk (vanilla or plain)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 ½ tablespoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Stir together the vegan butter, milk, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Pour the plant-based milk in with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Some lumps are fine. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes while the griddle heats up.
    A milk mixture is being poured into a bowl with flour.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat. You can either spray the pan with vegetable cooking spray or use a half teaspoon of vegan butter to coat the pan. 
  • Once the skillet is hot, pour the pancake batter (using a ¼ cup measuring cup) into the prepared skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top side of the pancakes. Use a spatula to flip the pancakes and cook on the other side until golden brown. Place cooked pancakes on a plate and repeat this process with the remaining batter.
    Pancakes are cooking on a griddle, waiting to be flipped.
  • Serve warm with vegan butter, maple syrup, fruit jam, and or fresh fruit. 

Notes

Freezing Instructions: Cool pancakes and then place them on a tray in a single layer. Place the tray in the freezer. Once the pancakes are frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. When you're ready to serve, grab one or two of the frozen pancakes and place them in a toaster or toaster oven.
