Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant milk
  • 2 teaspoons white or apple cider vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted vegan butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • oil or vegan butter for frying

Instructions

Prepare vegan buttermilk

  • Combine plant milk and vinegar and allow to sit and curdle for about 5 minutes.

Prepare flax egg

  • Whisk together ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and allow to sit and gel for about 5 minutes.

Prepare the pancake batter

  • Add oats to a blender along with vegan buttermilk, flax egg, vegetable oil or melted vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
  • Pour the blended wet ingredients into the dry mix and whisk to combine. (The ingredients can also be mixed in the blender. I prefer to mix them in a bowl because the batter thickens as it sits, and it can become hard to get every last bit out of the blender at the end.)

Cook the pancakes

  • Heat a cast iron pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Oil or butter your pan.
  • Scoop pancake batter into preheated skillet in whatever portions you like. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Pancakes are ready to flip when the batter around the edges appears dry.
  • Recommended: Add more oil or butter or oil to the pan between each batch of pancakes.
  • Enjoy pancakes with your favorite toppings.
