Ingredients

• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 cup Cornmeal
• 0.25 cup Rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1.25 cups Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat the egg and mix in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
