I wanted to create a recipe for vegan pancakes that was easy to double, triple, or even quadruple. I have spent many weekend mornings trying to calculate ingredients to accommodate my large family, and it can be such a headache! I’ve made it much easier for you. The recipe as written will serve about 3 people. I usually triple it for my family of 5. To change the serving size, in the recipe card below, hover over the number, and slide from 3 to 6, 9 or 12.
For blueberry pancakes, add a cup or so of fresh blueberries to the batter. Frozen blueberries work as well, but they will probably turn your pancakes blue!
You could also serve vegan pancakes with vegan lemon curd or vegan chocolate ganache. Blueberry pancakes with lemon curd would be fantastic!

Yield: 6
Serving Size: 1 serving
Nutrition Facts: calories 118 kcal, Carbohydrate 24 g, Protein 3 g, Fat 1 g, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 5 g, unSaturated Fat 0.4 g, servingSize 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (add 1 to 2 more tablespoons to make extra tall pancakes)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (add 1 more teaspoon to make extra fluffy and tall pancakes)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup dairy-free milk (any, we use almond milk)
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or cinnamon (aromas are optional))
- vegan butter
- maple syrup
- fresh fruit (berries, bananas, apples)
Instruction:
- In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the milk, water, and vanilla. Whisk gently until batter is just combined, without over-mixing.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. In the meantime warm up a non-stick pan.Lightly oil the pan, then cook the pancakes on low heat for about 1.5 minutes on one side.
- Turn them gently and cook for another 1 minute on the other side.Tip: we like to scoop the batter into the pan with a 1/4 cup measuring cup (that is about 45 to 55 grams of batter per pancake).
- Tip: when cooking pancakes, the pan should be hot but the heat low.Tip: cooking time will vary depending on your stove and pan. You’ll get the hang of it after the first couple of pancakes. Generally, you want the pancake to be golden brown before turning it.Tip: Depending on flour type, altitude, and temperature your batter can turn out a little thicker or thinner than ours. If your batter is too thin your pancakes will turn out a little flatter. If you want taller pancakes, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour in the batter, give it a quick mix, and try again. But don’t make the batter too thick or your pancakes will be bready.
- Remove from the pan and serve with vegan butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
