Vanilla Almond Milk Pancakes with Almond Butter Drizzle
(2)

A Note From feedfeed

Come for the light, fluffy texture in these almond milk pancakes - stay for the rich almond butter drizzle! I've teamed up with @CaliforniaAlmonds to develop a series of recipes I'm excited to share with you throughout the next year! For our first recipe, almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor that takes these pancakes to the next level. These soft-as-a-cloud #pancakes are the ultimate weekend breakfast in bed – and they just happen to be vegan and dairy-free!

I partnered with with the Almond Board of California to create this recipe. For more almond milk recipes, visit almonds.com.

Recipe Card

ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten free flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup, divided
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly, plus more for cooking
  • 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • Raspberries, for serving
  • Toasted coconut flakes, for serving

Method

  • Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk the all purpose flour (or gluten free substitute), baking powder, and salt.

  • Step 2

    Add ½ cup maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and almond milk, and whisk until smooth.

  • Step 3

    Set the batter aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Step 4

    Add vegetable oil or coconut oil for cooking. Add 2-tablespoon portions of the batter to the pan, cooking about 3 per batch. Cook on the first side until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to look dry.

  • Step 5

    Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to a warm oven or plate. Using a flat spatula, flip the pancakes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate or into a 200°F oven to keep warm. Repeat cooking the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed.

  • Step 6

    In a small bowl, whisk remaining ¼ cup maple syrup with almond butter and ½ cup warm water. Top pancakes with almond butter drizzle, raspberries, and toasted coconut.
