Ingredients

Dry:

  • 1 cup flour ((I use all purpose for soft pancakes), see Notes for glutenfree)
  • 1.75 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp sugar

Wet:

  • 1 cup non dairy milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp oil

Streusel:

  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp oil or melted vegan butter

Method

  1. In a bowl, whisk the dry ingredients for pancakes until well combined.
  2. In another small bowl, mix 3/4 cup non dairy milk, vanilla and vinegar. Add to the dry. Add oil and mix. Add more milk 2 tbsp at a time. Depending on the flours you will need 2 to 6 tbsp more. Whisk to make a pancake batter that is not too stiff and also not too thin.
  3. Mix the flour, sugar,salt and cinnamon for the streusel in a bowl. Add oil and mix to make a crumbly mixture.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Brush oil. If making regular pancakes: Pour batter on the hot skillet. Top with some streusel. Cover the pan and cook for 3 to 4 mins. Then flip and cook for another 2 mins.
  5. If making cookie cutter pancakes, Once the skillet is hot, place the cookie cutters on the skillet. Spray oil on the cutter. Pour pancake batter to reach a 1/3 to 1/2 of the height of the cookie cutter. Then sprinkle streusel. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then flip the pancake with the cookie cutter and cook for 2 mins. Remove from pan. Let cool for a minute then carefully loosen the cookie cutter.
  6. Drizzle with maple, icing or top with some cream cheese frosting or whipped coconut cream and fruits!
