Tips for Making the Best Vegan Pancakes

If you are looking for tips on making the best vegan pancakes, we got you! Here’s our tips:

  1. Do NOT over mix your batter. This is one of the biggest mistakes. The more you work your batter, the more dense and flat your pancakes are going to be. You want to mix just until combined and then leave them alone.
  2. Only use fresh baking powder or baking soda. Using old and/or expired ingredients won’t give you as good of a rise.
  3. Sift or whisk your dry ingredients first. This helps prevent clumps, which can lead to overmixing.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows air pockets to develop and you will get delicious pancakes every time.
  5. Add acid. We love making a vegan butter which is 1 cup non-dairy milk with 1 tablespoon acid (adjusted depending on the recipe). Acid can be apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, lemon or lime juice. Then, let sit for 10 minutes. When the acid reacts with the other ingredients, it will give a better rise and texture.
