Pancakes Reimagined: Fluffy Almond Milk Pancake Recipe Without Dairy
Are you looking for a simple yet delicious almond milk pancake recipe that your whole family will enjoy? While some of my kids are lactose-intolerant, not all of them are. Yet everyone loves this fast recipe for making pancakes with almond milk.
While I don't make a homecooked big breakfast every day, I try to make pancakes every Sunday. They're one of our favorite breakfast griddle recipes.
Pancakes work well because I can double or triple and freeze the batch.
This almond milk pancake recipe is also a great way to use leftover cranberries, raspberries or blueberries.
Another reason I like this recipe is that it is perfect to make in a cast iron frying pan. Our homestead kitchen has a five-burner propane cooktop. And we also have an extra two-burner propane cooktop on the same counter. (Big family cooking bonus!)
Yet in the winter, I'll sometimes cook these almond milk pancakes on our woodstove with my homemade easy cheesy hash brown recipe. And I'll serve them with our homemade pancake syrup recipe.
For a side, I'll make sausages. And since getting a Ninja Foodie, I've been making air fryer bacon.
Note: we only use the Ninja Foodie when our solar panels work hard because it takes a lot of power!

How to Make Almond Milk Pancakes
Full disclosure here: it's pretty easy to adapt any traditional pancake recipe to one that uses almond milk.
Over the years, I've experimented with using soy milk, oat milk, and almond milk. I find that non-dairy types of milk usually lead to fluffier pancakes. And they also change the flavor of the pancakes.
This recipe is the one that works best for us right now.
