  • ¾ cup milk (almond, dairy, or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil or butter (optional for richness)
  • Pinch of salt

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
  • Stir gently until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Let the batter sit for 2–3 minutes to thicken slightly.
