Ingredients

Scale

Pancake Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)

Strawberry Maple Syrup

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Sides and Garnishes

  • Smoked turkey bacon, cooked
  • Fresh strawberry slices
  • Powdered sugar (natural)
  • Whipped plant-based cream
  • Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, mix the plant-based milk with apple cider vinegar (natural) and let it sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly, which helps create the fluffy texture. Then add vegetable oil, vanilla extract (natural), and maple syrup (natural), stirring gently to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet until just blended; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
  2. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil. Pour about half a cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Make the Strawberry Maple Syrup: While the pancakes are cooking, gently simmer chopped fresh strawberries with maple syrup (natural) and a small amount of water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until the strawberries soften. Sprinkle in a pinch of natural gelling agent, stirring until the syrup thickens to your liking, then remove from heat.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Stack the fluffy pancakes on a plate, generously ladle warm strawberry maple syrup over them, and optionally add a side of crispy smoked turkey bacon for a savory-sweet contrast. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, a dusting of powdered sugar (natural), or a dollop of whipped plant-based cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the batter mix more evenly, resulting in lighter pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter; some lumps are fine to prevent tough pancakes.
  • Preheat the pan properly to medium heat for even cooking without burning.
  • Test with a small pancake first and adjust heat as needed before cooking the full batch.
  • Make the strawberry maple syrup ahead of time and gently rewarm for convenience on busy mornings.
