Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Ground flaxseed (optional, for extra nutrition)
• 1 teaspoon Non-stick spray or a small amount of oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. If using ground flaxseed, add it to the wet mixture and let it sit for 2 minutes to slightly thicken.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy for fluffier pancakes.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated pan for each pancake. Spread it lightly with the back of a spoon to form an even circle.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, additional maple syrup, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
