Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Poppy seeds
  • 1 whole lemon Lemon zest (From one medium lemon)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened plant-based milk (Almond, oat, or soy milk work well)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice (From about 1-2 medium/large juicy lemons)
  • 1/4 cup Neutral vegetable oil (Canola or peanut oil; avoid olive oil)
  • 2 tbsp Vegan butter (For cooking; use approximately 1/2 tbsp per 2 pancakes)
  • as needed for serving Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest in a bowl until fully combined.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the plant-based milk and lemon juice, then let sit for 5 minutes until curdled. Whisk in the vegetable oil until fully combined and no oil layer remains.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Preheat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat and add about 1/2 tbsp of butter for every 2 pancakes you're cooking (1 tbsp for 4 pancakes, or 2 tbsp for 8 pancakes).

  5. 5

    Once the butter is melted and starting to sizzle, add a hearty dollop of pancake batter and form it into a roughly circular shape with a spatula or spoon.

  6. 6

    Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes per side until the base is golden brown. If cooking in batches, place finished pancakes on a baking tray in a warm off oven.

  7. 7

    Serve with maple syrup and lemon juice. Enjoy!
