Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or melted butter
- 1 tablespoon Additional oil or butter (for greasing the pan or waffle iron)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat a non-stick skillet, griddle, or waffle iron over medium heat. If using a waffle iron, follow the manufacturer's preheating instructions.
Step 2: In a high-speed blender, combine the whole wheat flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, salt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil or butter.
Step 3: Blend the ingredients on medium speed for 30-60 seconds or until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides of the blender, if necessary.
Step 4: Check the batter consistency. If it's too thick for your preference, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional milk and blend briefly to incorporate.
Step 5: Lightly grease the preheated skillet, griddle, or waffle iron with oil or butter.
Step 6 (Pancakes): Pour the batter onto the skillet or griddle, about 1/4 cup per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 7 (Waffles): Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions (typically 3-5 minutes) until crisp and golden.
Step 8: Serve the pancakes or waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nut butter, or additional honey or syrup.
Step 9: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.
