Vegan Dulce Nut de Leche Pancakes

Ingredients:

For the Pancakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Vegan Dulce Nut de Leche (plus more for drizzling)
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
• Salsa and/or guacamole for serving 

For Serving:

• Fresh fruit (bananas, berries, etc.)
• Chopped nuts (optional)
• Additional Vegan Dulce Nut de Leche 

Instructions:

   1. Mix the Dry Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

   2. Combine Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups almond milk, 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.

   3. Make the Pancake Batter:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Gently fold in 1/2 cup Vegan Dulce Nut de Leche, creating a marbled effect in the batter.

   4. Cook the Pancakes:

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little coconut oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

   5. Serve:

Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle with additional Vegan Dulce Nut de Leche.

Add fresh fruit and chopped nuts if desired.
