So what the heck is in vegan buttermilk anyways?

It’s simple: 1 cup almond milk + 1 tablespoon of an acid, that’s it! I usually use apple cider vinegar as the acid as it is what I usually have on hand, but lemon juice, lime juice, and white vinegar work too. The trick is to mix the two together and allow them to rest for about 10 minutes. As it rests, the acid will curdle the almond milk  (slightly thickening it) and cause it to develop a sour taste similar to that of buttermilk. 

For this recipe, we made sure to use the highest quality ingredients to yield the best result for you all and we couldn’t recommend Bob’s Red Mill product enough. All of their grains are grown from non-GMO seeds, how cool is that! 

PS: Chris also made an amazing pancake recipe of his own — Savory Corn Pancakes w/ Cilantro Dill Cream Sauce. We battled it out on our YouTube channel, head over to the video, and vote for the winner!

Get ready for some of the fluffiest vegan pancakes that you’ve ever had. Our vegan buttermilk pancakes are easy to make and are guaranteed to hit the spot when you’re in need of a classic stack for Sunday brunch….or any day of the week 😉

Ingredients

• 1 Flax egg (1 tablespoon Bob’s Red Mill flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup + 3 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached all-purpose flour*
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 tablespoons Bob’s Red Mill vegan cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• ½ teaspoon salt

---

Instructions

1. Prepare a flax egg. In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal along with the water and mix until uniform. Set aside for 10-15 minutes to thicken.
2. Preheat a griddle or medium/large nonstick pan over medium heat.
3. In another bowl, mix together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Set the mixture aside to rest for 5-10 minutes. The almond milk will curdle, forming vegan buttermilk.
4. In the meantime, prepare the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour (to start), the baking powder, vegan cane sugar and salt until uniform. Once the flax egg and buttermilk are ready, add those into the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Whisk together until just combined but do not over-stir as this creates tough pancakes. Add 1-3 tablespoons more flour as needed if the dough is watery– we added 2 more.
5. Lightly grease the non-stick pan or griddle and add the pancake batter 1/4 cup at a time. Flip once the edges begin to dry and bubbles appear on the surface. and cook for a few minutes more.
6. Serve warm.

Notes

• We prefer to use a griddle to cut down on the cook time but cooking multiple pancakes at once.

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 15 minutes
