Instructions
Mix the nut milk and the lemon juice or ACV together in a small bowl/measuring cup. Set aside for about 5 minutes – this will make the vegan buttermilk.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. The sifting really helps to make the pancakes fluffy.
Add the sugar, melted butter/oil, ground ginger,cinnamon, ground cloves/allspice, nutmeg, molasses and the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and using a spatula, gently mix the batter until JUST combined. It's okay (and normal) to have some lumps.
Heat a griddle pan or a cast iron skillet over medium heat and brush with coconut oil or vegan butter.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan/skillet for one pancake. Wait until some bubbles start to form on top. Allow to cook for about 2-3 more minutes and then flip the pancakes over once the bubbles begin to pop on top. Cook for about 2-3 more minutes until batter is cooked through.
Repeat for the rest of the pancakes. Serve pancakes hot and drizzle with powdered sugar and maple syrup on top and your favorite toppings.
Enjoy!

Notes
How to Store: Refrigerate leftover pancakes in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. Reheat them in the microwave or in a 350ºF oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they’re warmed through.How to Freeze: Freeze pancakes in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat them in the microwave, or in the oven at 350ºF for about 15 minutes.
Mixing the batter. It's okay to have some lumps in the batter, but this can be minimized by sifting the dry ingredients first. If you over-mix once you add the liquid ingredients, you’ll end up with tough pancakes!
Cooking tips. Pancake making takes a bit of practice. Make sure your griddle is hot, and wait until the pancakes have formed a lot of bubbles before flipping them. The first few pancakes may not be perfect, but by the third, you should get into a good groove and have a better idea of when to flip!
Topping ideas. In addition to syrup or powdered sugar, you can top your pancakes with coconut whipped cream, candied pecans, chocolate chips, sautéed apples, or candied ginger.
