How To Make Pancakes Without Dairy

Just like with a regular pancake recipe, you can thin your batter if necessary by adding more liquid, almond milk in this case.

This recipe can be a base for adding blueberries or bananas but I usually make them straight up and top with pure maple syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cups Almond Milk
• 2 Large Eggs
• 5 Tbs. Vegetable Oil
• 6 Tbs. Granulated Sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. Pure vanilla extract
• 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 4 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp. Salt

In a mixing bowl whisk your eggs and then add your almond milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended.

Add more almond milk if a thinner batter is desired. Set aside for two minutes.

Add a teaspoon of oil to a skillet and bring to medium low heat.

Once skillet is brought to temperature and pour your pancake batter. Once it begins to bubble flip and cook until golden brown.

Serve with maple syrup or your favorite pancake toppings.

More Milk Alternatives for Pancakes

While I usually go with almond milk when making my dairy free pancakes, there are more options you can use.

In fact there are a number of milk substitutes for making pancakes.

You can even use these dairy alternatives when using a pancake mix, but they can easily be used in this recipe.

Coconut milk: Coconut milk has a subtle flavor that goes well with pancakes. I find it particularly well suited for flapjacks topped with fruit. Use one and a half cups of coconut milk in this recipe.

Coconut cream: Coconut cream is a bit thicker than almond milk so you will want to thin it before adding it to your other ingredients. Combine two thirds cup of coconut cream with one third cup of water.

Oat milk: Oat milk is another great dairy free option for that you can use in place of almond milk. It offers a subtle flavor that compliments any pancake topping. Use one and one third cups in place of almond milk.

Water: If you don’t have any of the other dairy alternative, you can use water in this recipe. It will produce flatter, more crispy, pancakes but they still taste great! Use one and one third cups of water and no other recipe changes are needed.
