Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional)
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Milk (any type)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter or oil
- 1 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In a separate large bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup.
Melt the butter or oil and add it to the wet ingredients, stirring well to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently folding them together with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, yogurt, nuts, or additional honey or maple syrup.
