Ingredients
- 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Pancake Mix
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons applesauce (acts as an egg replacer)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted (plus extra for cooking)
- Pinch of salt
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or fork
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Non-stick skillet or griddle
- Spatula
- Cooling rack (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with coconut oil or your preferred cooking oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the pancake mix and a pinch of salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a whisk or spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. This helps the mix hydrate and ensures fluffier pancakes.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings or keep warm on a cooling rack until ready to serve.
Tips & Variations
“For extra fluffy pancakes, try adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the dry mix before combining with wet ingredients.”
- Make it gluten-free: Bob’s Red Mill offers a gluten-free pancake mix option that works perfectly for this recipe.
- Customize your flavor: Add ½ cup of fresh blueberries, sliced bananas, or vegan chocolate chips to the batter before cooking.
- Swap applesauce: If you don’t have applesauce, mashed banana or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, mixed and rested) work well as egg replacers.
- Use different plant milks: Oat, soy, or coconut milk can all be used depending on your preference.
- Make it savory: Skip the maple syrup and vanilla, and add herbs like chives or nutritional yeast for a savory pancake twist.

Another favorite is to serve your pancakes alongside a warm cup of coffee or tea, or even with a refreshing smoothie.
