Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 2 cups unsweetened soy or almond milk
- 3/4 cup (177 milliliters) safflower oil, plus more for the pan
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar, finely ground
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- Maple syrup
- Fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Whisk plant-based milk and safflower oil together in a measuring cup, creating a smooth liquid base for the pancake batter.
- In a separate medium bowl, thoroughly combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, turbinado sugar, baking powder, and salt using a whisk.
- Gently pour the milk and oil mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just incorporated with a few small lumps remaining to ensure a tender texture.
- Prepare a nonstick skillet or griddle by lightly coating with oil and heating over medium-low temperature, around 325°F.
- Carefully ladle 1/3 cup of batter onto the heated surface for each pancake, allowing bubbles to form around the edges, which typically takes about 3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes when the bottom turns golden and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are evenly browned and the center is fully cooked.
- Transfer the pancakes to serving plates and accompany with pure maple syrup and a scattering of fresh blueberries for a delightful vegan breakfast experience.
Notes
- Adjust milk consistency by adding more plant-based milk if batter seems too thick, ensuring smooth pouring and perfect pancake texture.
- Try alternative flours like almond or oat flour for gluten-free options, creating diverse and nutritious pancake variations.
- Rest batter for 5-10 minutes before cooking to allow flour to absorb liquid, resulting in fluffier and more tender pancakes.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution and crispier pancake edges, enhancing overall cooking performance and flavor.
