Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until well-blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread gently, if needed, to form a circle.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while preparing the remaining batter.
Serve the spiced whole wheat pancakes warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
