Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups almond milk (plus more as needed, any milk will work)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly, or a neutral oil, plus more for the pan)
Add-ins and Serving
- 1 1/2 cups strawberries (sliced, more if needed)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together almond milk, egg, and melted butter or oil until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. A few lumps in the batter are okay. Gently fold in half of the sliced strawberries. If the batter feels too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time to reach a slightly thinner consistency.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly brush with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a ⅓ cup scoop, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook each pancake for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until they puff up, turn golden brown, and are cooked through. Adjust the heat to low as needed to avoid burning before the center is cooked.
- Serve: Serve warm pancakes topped with the remaining fresh strawberries, a pat of butter, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
Notes
- Use any milk of your choice if almond milk is not available.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- If you prefer smaller or larger pancakes, adjust the scoop size accordingly.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while finishing the batch.
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients if desired.
