Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 unit Large egg
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then whisk in the milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter may have lumps, and that's okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
