Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups buttermilk
- 2 items large eggs
- 0.25 cups pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped toasted pecans
- 1 as needed unsalted butter or oil for the skillet
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are fine. Fold in the chopped toasted pecans gently.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook 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.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with additional maple syrup and a sprinkle of toasted pecans, if desired.
