Grating one small-to-medium unpeeled apple, cored, to mix into batter is recommended.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir in plant milk and optional vanilla and optional chopped or grated fruit. To create a milkshake consistency, add as needed more plant milk, 1 Tablespoon at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Brush onto hot skillet 1\/2 Tablespoon of oil. Ladle onto it 3-4 pancakes. Immediately top with optional berries or sliced fruit. Cook about 3 minutes, until edges bubble and pull slightly from pan. Flip and cook 3-4 minutes until well-browned. Place pancakes on ungreased cookie sheet or pizza pan in 200-degree oven to keep warm while cooking up the rest of the batter.<\/p>\n<p>Makes 8-10 small-to-medium pancakes, serving 2-3 people.

Mixing berries into batter can create off colors. Cornmeal is not recommended, as it takes a long time to soften. The batter loses its leavening power on sitting, so prepare just before cooking.
