Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (regular or dairy free)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter or applesauce
  • 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Add milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, and egg to a medium bowl and whisk until combined, then set aside.
  • Add in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don’t over-mix the batter—some small lumps are okay.
  • Heat a large skillet or nonstick griddle to medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil spray.
  • Scoop 1 scant tablespoon of batter onto the pan. When bubbles form on top, flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and add toppings of choice. Enjoy!

Notes

For a bigger batch, use the oat milk pancake recipe and make smaller scoops. These pancakes freeze well let cool completely, freeze in a single layer, then store in a zip-top bag.
