Equipment
- Bowl
- Whisk or spoon
- Non-stick frying pan or skillet/crepe pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour spooned in a measuring cup and leveled with a knife
- 1 tablespoon sugar such as coconut, brown, white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, and sugar until combined.
- Pour in the vanilla extract, then slowly add the almond milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan, skillet, or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges are slightly dry about 1 minute and 30 seconds. The other side usually cooks faster, so aim for about 1 minute until golden brown. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fruit, ice cream, or peanut butter. Enjoy!
Notes
- Let leftover pancakes cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or pan for a few minutes until warmed through.
- Use a non-stick pan or lightly grease the pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the thickness of the batter by adding more water if you prefer thinner pancakes or crepes.
- For sugar-free pancakes, you can replace the sweetener with alternatives like monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, or stevia.
- Stick with chickpea flour for this recipe - its unique structure and nutty flavor might not be perfectly replicated with chickpea flour substitutes.
