Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened oat or almond milk
2 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup regular all purpose flour (or King Arthur Measure for Measure GF flour)
3 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles
2 tablespoon melted vegan butter (for icing)
2 oz vegan cream cheese (for icing)
¾ cup powdered sugar (for icing)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, baking powder, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
2. Gradually whisk in the flour until the batter is smooth and no large lumps remain.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with vegan butter or cooking spray.
4. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Immediately scatter a few sprinkles onto the wet surface of the batter.
5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. To make the icing, whisk together the melted vegan butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth. If too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to reach a pourable consistency.
7. Stack the pancakes high and drizzle generously with the cream cheese icing.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter, or the pancakes will be tough.
Use a high-quality vegan cream cheese like Kite Hill or Violife for the best icing flavor.
If using GF flour, let the batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking to help the texture.
