Vegan Fluffy American Style Pancakes

Thick and fluffy vegan American style pancakes. These pancakes make a perfect breakfast option along with any toppings of choice.

Sunday pancakes are totally a ritual in my house and something we always look forward to. Be it crepes (which I have an awesome recipe for) or pancakes, one of them is essential. I’m a fan of both but I love these vegan pancakes, they’re incredibly light and airy.

These vegan pancakes are super simple to put together and honestly take no time at all. The pancakes themselves are minimally sweetened, feel free to add more sugar if desired. For this reason, I would recommend using good quality vanilla extract just to ensure a more pronounced vanilla flavour.

Can I substitute plain flour instead of self raising flour?

Yes, you definitely can do. To substitute plain flour, you will want to use around 145g of plain flour and 5g of baking powder (around 1.25 tsp), you will then still need to add the additional 1tsp baking powder in the recipe. In turn, making it a total of 2.25 tsps of baking powder for the vegan pancakes. To note, baking powder is different from baking soda, they are not interchangeable.

Tips

-You can add more sugar for sweeter vegan pancakes. You can also substitute for maple or agave syrup, just reduce the milk quantity to make up for the additional liquid
-If your pancakes are coming out too thin, the batter is too runny. It needs to be a thick, but pourable batter. You can either add more self raising flour, or next time add the milk gradually. Different plant based milks will have different consistencies
-Regular dairy milk can be used for anyone who isn’t vegan
-Only grease your pan (lightly) with oil for the first pancake, after that no oil or greasing will be required
