Method

01
Start off with your makeshift buttermilk. In a small bowl measure out your almond milk and add the apple cider vinegar to create the buttermilk mixture, set this aside while you prep your dry ingredients. 
02
In another large bowl, add the flour and whisk the remaining dry ingredients. 
03
Now pour in the buttermilk, the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Whisk the batter gently, don’t worry if there are small  lumps. 
04
Heat your pan over a medium-high heat and pour a small ladle full of the batter into the middle of your pan. 
05
After a couple of minutes, small bubbles will form around the edges and the edges will also appear cooked, flip and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes. Once you’ve stacked them high on your serving plate drizzle over your raw cacao drizzle and enjoy immediately.

Enjoy!
