Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or skim milk)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, egg, honey, and vanilla extract. Beat lightly until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth. Avoid overmixing as it may make the pancakes dense.
Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet or griddle with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it slightly into a circle if necessary.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, re-coating the skillet with cooking spray as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
