What You’ll Need
This recipe keeps things simple with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen:
Ingredients
150g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tbsp sugar
8–12 drops of Cinnamon extract (adjust to your preference)
200ml plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy, or oat)
½ tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Toppings of your choice: bananas, strawberries, blueberries, maple syrup, vegan chocolate chips, or plant-based yoghurt
Step-by-Step Method
1. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the Cinnamon extract and slowly whisk in the plant-based milk until you have a smooth, thick batter. The goal is to have a consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly coat with vegetable oil. Add 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, forming small, circles. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until the edges are set and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2–3 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
3. Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your favourite ingredients. Fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of plant-based yoghurt work beautifully.

Cinnamon Extract FAQ:
Why use Cinnamon extract instead of regular ground cinnamon?
For starters, they’re incredibly easy to use—no clumping, no grittiness, just pure flavour. A few drops bring a warm, cosy spice to your pancakes without overpowering them. Plus, they’re versatile. Add them to your pancake batter, drizzle them over toppings, or mix them into your morning tea or coffee for a seamless burst of flavour.
What makes Cinnamon extracts even more special is their quality?
Unlike ground cinnamon, which can sometimes lose its potency or taste stale, these drops retain their authentic and natural flavour, making them a reliable choice for elevating your recipes.
