# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Combine soy or pea milk with apple cider vinegar in a large measuring cup, whisk and let rest for 5 minutes to curdle.
02 -
Mix almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, brown sugar, and water until smooth. Transfer to a sandwich bag, press mixture toward one corner, seal and set aside for piping.
03 -
Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until evenly combined.
04 -
Add melted vegan butter, vegan yogurt, vanilla extract, and curdled milk mixture into dry ingredients. Fold gently until just combined, leaving some lumps. Rest batter for 5 minutes.
05 -
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease to prevent sticking.
06 -
Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto griddle. Pipe cinnamon swirl onto the wet batter using sandwich bag. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until golden on bottom, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
07 -
Whisk vegan cream cheese, maple syrup, soy milk, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding soy milk in 1 tablespoon increments to desired drizzle thickness.
08 -
Drizzle pancakes generously with maple cream cheese glaze and additional maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free. Avoid overmixing batter for fluffy texture. Resting batter improves thickness and texture. Substitute almond butter with other nut or seed butters as preferred.
