Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking oil (for greasing)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wheat bran, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the bran to absorb some moisture and thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking oil.
Working in batches, scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a 4-inch circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or an extra drizzle of honey.
