Ingredients

2 eggs
½ cup almond milk
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
pinch of salt

Instructions

Start by measuring correctly the all-purpose flour. Scoop flour into the measuring cup using a spoon, then level it using the back of a knife.
Mix the wet ingredients: almond milk, egg, oil and vanilla extract if using. Whisk well to combine.
Add the dry ingredients. Mix in the sugar, then all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder, and whisk until batter is combined. Don’t need to overwork it, small lumps of flour are totally ok.
Preheat your griddle or pan over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the heated surface. Cover the pan with a lid while pancakes cook for extra-fluffy, thicker pancakes. Flip when pancake is covered in bubbles that have just popped, forming tiny holes.
Serve pancakes while hot. If you’re doubling this recipe and making a big batch, you can keep pancakes warm inside your oven, preheated at low temperature.

Notes

Flavor Variations:

Make vegan almond milk pancakes: substitute egg for ¼ cup of applesauce. I don’t recommend using a flax egg for this recipe.
Make chocolate pancakes: use chocolate-flavored almond milk, and substitute 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour for 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Adding ⅓ cup of chocolate chips to the batter is optional, but extremely recommended. 😉
Make blueberry pancakes: add ½ cup of fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter.
Make banana pancakes: substitute egg for ¼ cup of mashed banana. Add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter if desired.
Make chocolate chips pancakes: add ⅓ chocolate chips to the batter. Mix white and semi-sweet chocolate chips for a twist.

Tips

If your pancakes are cooking unevenly: You might be using a too high temperature when cooking your pancakes. Turn heat to medium-low if your stove temperature is too high, or move to a smaller burner.

If your pancakes are thin: you might have added too little flour. Add 2 tablespoons more of flour and whisk to incorporate in the batter.

If your pancake batter is too thick and not pourable: add 2 tablespoons of almond milk and whisk well.
