Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Step 2

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let sit while you start the rest so it thickens a bit.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together just to combine. Set aside.

Step 4

Add the vanilla, maple syrup and oil to the almond milk mixture, and stir.

Step 5

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking together until fully combined.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon zest if using. Pour into an 11x16in. sheet pan that is lined with parchment paper and sprayed with non stick spray. Smooth out the batter.

Step 7

Bake at 425 degrees for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle the berries on top. Rotate and bake another 10-12 minutes, or until fully baked and tooth pick comes out clean. Then if you want to brown the top, you can broil at this point for 3-4 minutes or so until brown. Serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar or both!
