Instructions
- 1
First, let's get that berry compote going! In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the berries have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Now for the pancakes! In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps!
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, oil, and vanilla extract. Let this sit for 2-3 minutes – this helps create that buttermilk-like tang and fluffiness!
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or spoon until just combined. A few small lumps are totally fine; don't overmix, or your pancakes won't be as fluffy!
- 5
Heat a lightly oiled non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
- 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
- 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil to the pan if needed.
- 8
Serve your warm, fluffy pancakes immediately, topped generously with your homemade berry compote. A drizzle of maple syrup is always a good idea too!
Pro Tips
This recipe is quick to prep, so have all your ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking for the smoothest workflow.
Don't skip the seasoning. Vegan comfort food shines when you're generous with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
