Combine soy milk and apple cider vinegar in a small glass to make vegan buttermilk. Stir till it starts to thicken. Then set aside.
Combine all the dry ingredients (oat flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt).
Add vanilla extract to the vegan buttermilk and stir to mix in.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix till it comes together, but be careful not to over mix it.
Heat the pan for 3-4 minutes on low heat. Then use a ½ tablespoon of vegan butter to grease the pan/griddle. Note: You can also use cooking spray to grease the pan.
Scoop ¼ cup of pancake batter and gently pour it on to the pan/griddle.
Patiently wait 1-2 minutes till the pancakes start to bubble before flipping. Then cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes till both sides are golden brown.
NOTES
Properly Preheat: Preheating ensures even cooking and prevents sticking, especially with pancakes. Give your pan at least 3-5 minutes before adding your first batch.
Grease the Pan Thoroughly: Always use a well-greased pan to prevent sticking and achieve that golden-brown finish. Add more vegan butter or cooking spray as needed between batches.
Wait for Bubbles to Flip: Flip the pancakes when bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. This will prevent you from having to turn them more than once, resulting in a dense texture.
