<human>:  How do I make vegan pancakes?
<bot>: To make vegan pancakes, you will need to substitute any animal-based ingredients with vegan alternatives. Start by combining 1 cup of flour,1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a bowl and mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of an unsweetened plant-based milk, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (or another sweetener). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together until combined. Heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium heat. Spoon the batter into the pan and cook for a few minutes until bubbles form and the edges become lightly browned. Flip, then cook for a few minutes more until both sides are lightly golden. Serve your vegan pancakes with vegan butter or toppings of your choice.
