What I love about these pancakes is what I DON’T get from them- that blood sugar spike and then crash, and then feeling like I’m starving 2 hours later. I stopped eating pancakes years ago because I hated this feeling, and now that I’m oil-free vegan, I can finally get behind a good flapjack again. These are delicious, hearty, and will take any of your favorite toppings with panache.
It can be tricky to cook without oil when you’re not used to it, so use these as a great starting point. Let me know how it goes. I may even post a how-to video.
Happy breakfasting,
Crystal
Perfect Vegan Pancakes
These oil-free, vegan pancakes are hearty and delicious. These are a sweet, satisfying breakfast without the sugar crash.
Ingredients
Method
- Add vinegar to soy milk and set aside.
- Heat cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Depending on your skillet, you can cook your pancakes with a little bit of water in the pan the same way you'd use butter or oil, or you can opt for a small spray of oil. It's always preferred to use water and omit the oil.
- In medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and cinnamon together.
- Slowly whisk in soy milk mixture and vanilla until smooth. Don't overmix.
- Use 1/4 size measuring cup to pour batter into skillet. Cook until firm on one side, then flip, adding more water to the pan if needed. Cook until both sides are firm and the center is cooked. Serve warm.

You’re welcome, Brandi!
Can you substitute almond milk for the soy milk?
Hi Grace,
Yes, almond milk will work great.
Enjoy!

Hi Crystal thank you for the recipe. Just a question. What is the reason for the apple cider vinegar? is there a reason? Thanks
Hi Brenda,
The ACV reacts with the plant milk to make “buttermilk”- very similar in taste and texture to real buttermilk, which makes them taste much more like the non-vegan pancakes we may have eaten before. Hope that helps, and thanks for reading!
