Calories: 520kcal
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened, plain dairy free milk
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
For the glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened, plain dairy free milk
For serving:
- Dairy free whipped cream
- Rainbow sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a big mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together. This helps distribute the baking powder to make sure the pancakes rise evenly.
- Whisk the wet ingredients. In a different bowl, whisk the milk, oil, egg, vanilla extract and almond extract until smooth.
- Combine everything. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir to combine. Don't over stir or you'll end up with chewy pancakes. Then, fold in the sprinkles.
- Cook the pancakes. Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium. Let it get nice and warm before you start, then add a tiny bit of oil or melted vegan butter if you aren't using a non-stick pan.Add about ⅓ cup per pancake onto the pan and let it cook until nice bubbles start to form around the top and the edges look set. Flip and cook a little bit longer - about one more minute.Repeat until all batter has been used.
- Mix the glaze. If you're using the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar and milk together until smooth.
- Assemble your stack. Stack a few pancakes and drizzle with glaze or syrup. Top with dairy free whipped cream and/or a scoop of ice cream. Add sprinkles and top with a candle before serving.
