The ingredients are the almond milk pancakes are laid out.

All Purpose Flour. There are lots of different types of flour in the grocery store today. Did you know you can even make pancakes with cake flour?
Almond Milk. For this recipe I am using regular almond milk. If you choose to use unsweetened almond milk, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the batter.
Vanilla extract. For a little extra flavor.
Baking powder. This makes the pancakes rise and makes them nice and fluffy.
Eggs. To keep the pancake batter together. Flax eggs would work in this recipe too if you wanted to make this a vegan pancake recipe instead.
Coconut oil. This will replace the melted butter that you will usually find in pancakes.

How To Make Almond Milk Pancakes

The flour is mixed with the baking powder and salt. — **Step 1:** Mix the dry ingredients together in a small bowl.

The two eggs and vanilla are mixed together in a large mixing bowl. — **Step 2:** In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.

The almond milk is being poured into the bowl. — **Step 3:** Add the almond milk to the egg mixture.

The dry ingredients are added to the wet ingredients. — **Step 4:** Mix the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

The almond milk pancake batter is in a pan with coconut milk. — **Step 5:** In a non-stick pan, add a tablespoon of coconut oil. Add ¼ cup of batter. When small bubbles form in the center of the pancake, flip the pancake. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

The pancake is flipped. — **Step 6:** Cook the pancake for another 1-2 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.

Tips and Tricks

Do not push down on the pancakes when you flip them. Though it might be tempting to push down on the pancakes, that stops the pancakes from being as fluffy as they can be.
The pancakes are ready to flip when the middle bubbles. Small bubbles will start to come through the batter. The edges of the pancakes will also start to dry out. When you see these two signs, it's time to flip the pancakes.
Use an ice cream scoop or a measuring cup to measure the batter. This ensures the pancakes are all the same size will cook evenly.
Do not cook the pancakes too high. Medium-low heat to medium heat is the best for cooking pancakes. Too high and the outside will be too cooked and the inside will be raw. Too low and the pancakes will take a long time to cook.

Variations

Change up the milk! If you don't have almond milk, you can use coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, or regular dairy milk if you can handle dairy. Any plant-based milk will work in these delicious pancakes. You can also uses a flavored milk such as vanilla almond milk or a pumpkin spice almond milk.
Change the oil! Coconut oil has become very popular and easy to find in your local grocery store, but you can use a light olive oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, or canola oil in place of coconut oil.
Mix in ingredients to the pancake batter! My favorite mix ins are chocolate chips, but feel free to add blueberries, a scoop of pumpkin puree, or swirl in some peanut butter for extra protein!

Storage Tips

How to store leftover pancakes. Once the cooked pancakes are cooked, store leftovers in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator up to 4 days. To reheat them, place them in the toaster oven for 1 minute or until the pancakes are warm. You can also reheat the pancakes on the stovetop in a dry pan.
To keep the pancakes warm, after they are cooked place them on a parchment lined baking tray or baking sheet and keep them warm in a 200 degree oven.
How to freeze the pancakes. Once the pancakes are cooked, allow them to cool to room temperature. Wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in a Ziploc bag. Freeze the pancakes up to 4 months. To reheat the pumpkin pancakes, place them in the toaster oven for 2 minutes or reheat them in a dry pan over the stovetop.
