Ingredients
Scale
Basic Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon plant-based butter (for greasing)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Accurate measuring is key to consistent fluffiness in every mini pancake.
- Whisk the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, plant-based milk, eggs, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), a pinch of salt, and natural gelling agent. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy to incorporate air for a fluffy texture.
- Grease and Heat the Mini Pans: Generously coat mini pancake pans or a muffin tin with plant-based butter. Place the pans in the hot oven for a few minutes until the butter is sizzling.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Remove the hot pans carefully from the oven and pour the batter evenly into each cup. Return to the oven immediately and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until edges are puffed, golden, and crisp.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy the Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes fresh from the oven while the edges are crisp and the centers tender. Add your favorite toppings and serve warm.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
- Preheat the pan well to help batter puff quickly and create crispy edges.
- Whisk the batter just until smooth to avoid tough pancakes.
- Serve pancakes immediately as they deflate when cooling.
- Adjust the amount of natural gelling agent to achieve your preferred texture from tender to slightly firm.
