How To Make Vegan Pancakes With Watermelon Jam

Making homemade vegan pancakes is easier than you may think! Whisk together the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar in a pourable mixing bowl, then set it aside for about 5 minutes to let it turn into an almond "buttermilk."

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, add the almond "buttermilk" and vanilla and whisk together until a smooth batter is formed.

Pour pancake batter into the desired sizes onto a heated non-stick skillet and cook the pancakes until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Once bubbles appear, flip the pancake and cook for about another minute. Top each pancake stack with our watermelon jam, serve, and enjoy!

Vegan Butter- For a richer flavor, top your pancakes with some vegan butter.

Whipped Coconut Cream- Whipped coconut cream is another delicious and rich topping option. It's so good!

Pancakes With Watermelon Jam FAQs

Do I need to use a non-stick skillet to make these pancakes?

No, you don't need to use a non-stick skillet, but I find that it helps the pancakes cook more evenly and prevents them from sticking.

My pancake batter is too thick. What did I do wrong?

If your pancake batter is too thick, it's likely because you added too much flour. Try adding a little bit of non-dairy milk to the batter and whisking until the desired consistency is reached.
