- Serves:
ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 cups soymilk or 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 dash cinnamon (optional)
directions
- In a large bowl, lightly mix all ingredients until just combined.
- Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
- Leave mixture on the counter to rest for 3-5 minutes and then fold it onto itself two or three times, lightly to make sure that the batter is fairly well incorporated.
- Cook on a greased skillet or griddle over medium to medium high heat until golden.
- If there are large lumps, carefully break them apart with the spatula while the pancakes are cooking.
- Serve immediately.
Questions & Replies
- 2 Tablespoons of baking powder? That’s an awful lot. Can that be right? Will if not make the pancakes taste bitter?
Reviews
- As is, I rate this a 4 but with my modifications it would be a 5. I had to add about 2 more tbs of sugar and more cinnamon because they were very very bland. BUT they rose beautifully! I have made a handful of different vegan pancakes and these are the best I've ever made! Rather than leaving them to rest for 3-5 min, I let them rest for 15 min. The batter was kind of foamy looking and then I poured them into a very well buttered pan. Make sure your pan is very hot, that's a must! I flip mine over as soon as they're flip-able which is when the ends are cooked. That's it! I have a new go-to pancake recipe. Thanks for the basics!
- I just made these for a family brunch and they were fantastic. I just used water since I had to accommodate both dairy and soy allergies, but they still tasted great and everyone loved them. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and the rest white, upped the sugar by about a teaspoon, added some vanilla extract and also added chocolate chips to half of the batter. This made about 18 pancakes for me. Definitely a keeper!
- These turned out perfect! My anti-vegan husband couldn't even tell that these were vegan. I used 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour and they came out very fluffy and soft. I added a dash of vanilla and cinnamon to the batter. This will now be my go-to pancake recipe.
- Added another Tbs. of sugar & 4 TBS, of ground flax for nutrients. Made choc. chip pancakes for the kiddos, really yummy! thanks!
- Yummy! used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and used both whole wheat and reg flour. FLUFFIEST pancakes I've ever made! Makes a lot. Thanks for the recipe!

- Who needs eggs in pancakes when you have this recipe! These were amazing. Possibly the best pancakes I have ever had! I did tweek the recipe a bit. Instead of soy milk I used almond milk. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of ground flax. The flax gave it a subtle nutty flavor. I also added blueberries and cherries to up the health factor! Even though I made modifications, the base ingrediants are what made the recipe. This recipe will now be my go to pancake receipe!
- This is the best vegan pancake recipe I've tried! Thank you so much. I added vanilla and extra tbsp of sugar, and subbed 1c flour for whole wheat. Terrific thanks!
- Yummy! used unsweetened applesauce instead of oil and used both whole wheat and reg flour. FLUFFIEST pancakes I've ever made! Makes a lot. Thanks for the recipe!
- So light, fluffy and delicious! This is the third time I've made these pancakes and they are such a hit with my kids everytime. I add a splash of vanilla and pumpkin pie spice instead of the cinnamon (shhhh, I also added an extra tablespoon of sugar).
- Superb! i made another vegan pancake last week that wasn't a success so I was so happy these turned out. Of course... I modified a bit. Used 1 c white, 1 1/4 c wheat flour, cut sugar to 1 TBS, omitted oil and used 2 TBS applesauce instead. Added 1 very finely chopped apple (as another reviewer had) and (I KNOW NOT VEGAN!) used regular milk, because I didn't have any soy and our household is only half-vegan! Added a splash of vanilla too and lots of cinnamon. Very good apple/cin pancakes. Served with fresh strawberries! A winner!
