Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup, or additional honey.
