Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, honey or maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 5
Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, syrup, or additional honey.
