Quick to make and kid-friendly, these nutritious mini flapjacks are perfect for busy mornings or leisurely weekend brunches.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Whisk well to ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, low-fat milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are fine.
Preheat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of unsalted butter or oil if needed.
Using a tablespoon or a small ladle, pour small amounts of batter onto the griddle to form mini flapjacks roughly 2 inches in diameter.
Cook the flapjacks for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip them over with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked flapjacks to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the mini flapjacks immediately with a drizzle of honey and a handful of fresh berries if desired.
