    • almond milk – You can use flavored or unflavored almond milk here.
    • vegetable oil – You can use a different type of oil if you prefer, such as coconut oil or avocado oil.

    Ingredients needed for almond milk pancakes.

    2. Using the ¼ measuring cup, scoop out a serving of batter on the oil (or melted butter) covered pan.
    3. When bubbles start to form on top of the pancake, flip.

    Substitutions

    Need to make this pancake recipe with almond milk just a little bit different? Here are a few suggestions…

    • Vegan – instead of an egg, you can use applesauce, chia seed egg, or one ripe, mashed banana in your almond milk pancakes. Replace the butter with the oil of your choice (or vegan butter) and voila – vegan almond milk pancakes! You could use vegetable oil, olive oil, coconut oil or canola oil.
    • Gluten-Free – if you need gluten-free pancakes, replace the regular flour in this recipe with your favorite gluten-free brand (Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 is a good one, but your local grocery store should have some options available, too).
    • Dairy-Free – since this recipe uses almond milk instead of dairy products, these are perfect dairy-free pancakes! The only substitution you need to make is to swap the butter in this recipe for the oil of your choosing (vegetable and olive oil work well).
    • Nut-free – can’t have almond products (or not a fan of their nutty flavor)? Try using coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk in place of the almond milk.
    • Sugar – if you prefer not to use white sugar, you can use brown sugar, honey, or maple syrup in its place!

    Variations

    The easiest way to add some variety to your pancakes is to customize the toppings! This almond milk pancake recipe can be made in over 95 different ways if you switch up the yummy toppings. Think we’re exaggerating? Check out this post – 95+ pancake topping ideas!

    You can also play around with mix-ins to add some fun to your pancakes! Here are a few of our favorites:

    • chocolate chips
    • cut up strawberries
    • cereal (like Lucky Charms)
    • blueberries

    Does Almond Milk Taste Good in Pancakes?

    We think that the almond milk in these pancakes gives them a yummy, mildly nutty flavor but we also know that now everyone is a fan of almond milk or almonds in general.

    If you are one of the people who doesn’t really like the taste of almond milk, we have a trick for you to try! When you buy almond milk in the grocery store, you’ll see that there are usually plain versions and vanilla versions – if you use vanilla almond milk, you’ll taste much more of the vanilla flavor than the almond flavor!

    Just be sure you are still buying the unsweetened kind, or you may need to cut back on the sugar in the recipe (or cut it out entirely, depending on how you like your pancakes).

    Storage

    Once cool, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

    You can also freeze your leftovers! Once cooked and cooled, store the pancakes in the freezer in an airtight, freezer-safe bag/container until ready to reheat and serve.

    Make Your Own Dry Pancake Mix

    To save even more time in the future, whip up extra dry ingredients to create your own pancake mix and store it in a sealable container or bag. Then, just add the wet ingredients when it comes time to make! 

    Pro Tip: Print off the recipe card below and tape it to the plastic container for easy reference!

    This is perfect to take with you camping so you can have fresh, homemade pancakes cooked over the fire without the hassle of mixing it all up there at your campsite!

    Expert Tips and FAQs

    Can you substitute egg with anything to make these almond pancakes vegan?

    Instead of an egg, you can use a flax egg, applesauce, chia seed egg, or one ripe, mashed banana in your almond milk pancakes. Replace the butter with the oil of your choice (or vegan butter) and voila – vegan almond milk pancakes!

    Can I make this almond milk pancake batter ahead of time?

    Yes, you can actually make the pancake batter in advance! Simply mix as instructed and refrigerate in an air-tight, covered container for up to 2 days, until ready to cook.

    Can I freeze leftover pancakes?

    Absolutely! Once cooked and cooled, store the pancakes in the freezer until ready to reheat and serve!

    You could even make a large batch (simply double or triple the recipe using the quick-calculation buttons in the recipe card below to figure measurements for you) and freeze extras to have on hand for worry-free breakfasts on weekdays.
