    Perfect Vegan Pancakes ☀️ Add a little sunshine to your day with a stack of these scrumptious, easy to make, fluffy golden vegan pancakes!

    A stack of perfect vegan pancakes on a plate with an orange slice and maple syrup.

    Sometimes I get a craving for pancakes, in fact I've been in the mood for them for about three weeks now. Just when I think, ok, I'm going to indulge myself and make a batch, my inner "grown-up-in-charge" self reminds me that what I want isn't necessarily what I need and pancakes aren't on my need list. I guess I can say the same thing about waffles, but right at the moment, it's pancakes I want.

    Well, this morning my inner child prevailed and I got what I wanted - a beautiful breakfast featuring a stack of these easy perfect vegan pancakes topped with fresh berries. I also cooked up a pan of my favorite easy tofu scramble to go with it. Everything was so good!

    See the printable recipe below for quantities & complete details.

    🥞 Ingredient Notes

    • Flour - all-purpose (can be replaced with 1-1 gluten-free flour if needed)
    • Sugar - granulated
    • Baking powder
    • Salt
    • Vegan butter - melted
    • Egg replacer - I prefer either Bob's Red Mill or Ener-G egg substitute in this recipe
    • Non-dairy milk - soy, oat, almond, rice (your choice)

    🥞 Instructions

    Vegan pancakes dry ingredients in a glass bowl.
    1. Measure the dry ingredients, then combine them in a large mixing bowl,
    Wet ingredients for vegan pancakes including non-dairy milk, butter and egg-replacer.

    2. Measure the non-dairy milk, melt butter, and prepare the egg replacer.

    7. Serve hot with warm syrup, fresh fruit, and a dollop of vegan butter. Makes 24 medium-size pancakes.

    🥕NOTE: If you would like to add blueberries to the batter, I suggest coating the berries first in flour and gently fold them into the batter. It will help keep the berry juice from making the entire batter purple.

    Pancake Topping Suggestions

    • Berries
    • Bananas
    • Pecans or walnuts
    • Chocolate chips - sure, why not?
    • Peanut butter
    • Powdered sugar
    • Apple pie filling
    • Maple, boysenberry, strawberry or your favorite syrup

    Perfect Pancake Tips:

    • Make sure you have fresh baking powder, as it tends to lose its rising oomph over time.
    • Stir the pancake batter by hand and don't over mix your ingredients. A few lumps are ok.
    • Keep pancakes warm before serving by placing them in a low oven <200℉ on an oven-proof dish or pan, tented with foil.
