Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • non-stick skillet
  • whisk (or a fork)

Ingredients

"Buttermilk"

  • 1 cup unsweetened flaxmilk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Dry ingredients

  • ½ cup oat flour, packed*
  • ½ cup almond flour, packed*
  • 1 ½ tablespoons flaxseed meal
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • sprinkle of cinnamon

Additional wet ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • First, create a vegan buttermilk by whisking together flax milk and lemon juice to a measuring cup and let it sit for 2-3 minutes.
  • While the buttermilk forms, combine all dry ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add buttermilk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk briefly until combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips, blueberries, hemp hearts, or whatever mix-ins your heart desires.
    *check out my toppings & add-in suggestions above if you need some inspiration.
  • Warm a non-stick skillet on medium-low heat. Once warm, drizzle with just a tiny bit of avocado oil and then add ¼ cup of pancake batter to the pan for each pancake. Add as many pancakes as you can, without the pancakes touching.
  • Flip after 3-4 minutes. The pancake will rise and be golden around the edges when they are ready to flip. Remove from heat and top with maple or date syrup, drizzled chocolate, and/or berries. Enjoy!

Notes

*Packed flour consists of scooping the measuring cup directly into the jar or bag of flour and packing it down (removing all air from the flour). 
Serves 1-2 people, double the batch for meal-prep, leftovers, or for more eaters.
