Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
- 1.5 cups Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 as needed Cooking oil or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter lightly with the back of the spoon if necessary.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
