Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, egg, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt for a healthy start to your day.
