INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg and 1 tablespoon oil until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Don’t overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. For the first batch, add about 1 teaspoon oil and spread it by swirling the pan.
Use a measuring cup (¼ cup) or a tablespoon (for smaller pancakes) and drop batter in the pan. Depending on the size of your pan, you can cook 3–4 pancakes at a time. Cook for about 30-45 seconds, until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for another 30–45 seconds, until lightly golden.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining pancake batter. For the next batches, use about ½ teaspoon oil or less as needed.
Serve with maple syrup and fresh berries.
NOTES
Storage:
In the fridge: These dairy-free pancakes can be made ahead of time. Store them in the refrigerator covered for 2-3 days. Reheat in the pan or microwave before serving.
In the freezer: Let the pancakes cool completely. Put them in a freezer bag with a piece of parchment paper between each. They keep well in the freezer for 2 months. Reheat them frozen in the microwave oven for about 20 seconds or in a large skillet covered until warm. We don't recommend freezing the uncooked batter.
