INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as almond milk or soy milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- Cooking oil (for greasing the pan)
For Serving (Optional):
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries
- Vegan whipped cream
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle slightly (this creates a buttermilk-like mixture).
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. It’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with cooking oil.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the heated pan, using the back of the ladle to spread it into a round shape.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
- Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve them warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dollop of vegan whipped cream if desired.
- Enjoy these Korean-style chocolate chip pancakes as a delicious and indulgent breakfast or brunch treat!
