Add apple cider vinegar to half of the plant-based milk. Stir and let sit for about 10 minutes.
Add the dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a whisk (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar).
Add apple sauce or banana, and the oil to the plant-based milk and combine all the liquids together.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together to form the pancake batter.
NOTE: Do not over mix. Whisk just enough for all the flour to mix into the liquid (about 15 seconds).
Let mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Heat a nonstick pan (or griddle) on medium heat. Make sure it is nice and hot.
Pour about ½ cup to 1 cup of batter on to the nonstick pan. Let the pancakes cook until you start to see bubbles break the surface.
Then flip and continue to cook on the other side. It should take about 3 – 5 minutes to cook the pancakes, but this will depend on your heat source, and how think your pancakes are.
To serve pancakes, add fruit such as sliced banana, pineapple, berries, or other fruit and syrup.
Other additions: raw walnuts or other nuts, peanut butter, ground flaxseeds and/or hempseeds.
