In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee or espresso powder until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and the center is cooked through.
Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the coffee pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
