    What is Almond Milk?

    Almond milk is a plant-based milk which is produced from almonds. It has a watery texture and a slightly nutty flavour.

    Almond milk is low in fat and does not contain lactose, making it a great dairy-alternative for those who wish to cut down on dairy or are intolerant to lactose products.

    Ingredients and Variations

    The Dry Ingredients: You will need flour (all-purpose flour is perfect), baking powder, granulated (or caster) sugar, and a pinch of salt.

    Almond Milk: Use your preferred brand of almond milk, ideally unsweetened.

    Eggs: You will need 2 medium sized eggs, at room temperature.

    Vanilla Extract: Optional, for flavouring.

    Vegetable Oil: You will need some vegetable oil for the pancake batter and extra oil for greasing the skillet when cooking the pancakes.

    Use neutral-flavoured oil such as canola or sunflower oil.

    Toppings: You can drizzle these pancakes with maple syrup, a knob of butter, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

    Serve with fresh fruit toppings such as berries or banana.

    Ingredients for almond milk pancakes.

    Kitchen Equipment

    • Large mixing bowl - for mixing the batter
    • Weighing scale - for weighing your ingredients accurately
    • Whisk - to whisk a smooth pancake batter
    • Large skillet - to cook your pancakes
    • Spatula - for flipping the pancakes
    • Sieve - for sifting dry ingredients
    • Ladle - for transferring pancake batter to skillet

    How to Make Almond Milk Pancakes

    Make the Pancake Batter

    Start by sifting and mixing the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

    Add the vanilla extract, eggs, and milk and whisk until you get a smooth batter.

    Rest

    Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes. Do not skip this step!

    Cook

    Warm a large skillet on medium high heat. Grease lightly with vegetable oil.

    Using a ladle, carefully drop approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping carefully using a spatula.

    Transfer to a serving plate and repeat for the remaining batter. You should be able to cook 2-3 pancakes at one go in a large skillet.

    Add Toppings and Serve!

    Drizzle with maple syrup or add a small knob of butter on top. Alternatively, dust with powdered or icing sugar or serve with marmalade or homemade jam or compote!

    Serve warm with seasonal fresh fruit!

    Tips for the Perfect Pancakes

    Weigh your ingredients using digital kitchen scales - this ensures accuracy and the perfect batter consistency and pancake texture!

    For the fluffiest pancakes, rest the batter for at least 10 minutes. This allows the gluten (from flour) to relax and makes the pancakes light and fluffy.

    How to Serve

    Serve for breakfast or brunch with your favourite toppings.

    • Drizzled with maple syrup, or dusted with powdered sugar or ground cinnamon.
    • Topped with a small knob of butter while the pancakes are still warm.
    • Topped with marmalade or homemade jam or fruit compote.
    • Drizzled strawberry or chocolate syrup or whipped cream.
    • Topped with fresh fruit such as strawberries, blueberries, banana, or figs.
