Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.75 cups buttermilk
• 2 items large eggs
• 0.25 cups pure maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups chopped toasted pecans
• 1 as needed unsalted butter or oil for the skillet

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to combine.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are fine. Fold in the chopped toasted pecans gently.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

Step 5

Scoop 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 look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 7

Serve warm with additional maple syrup and a sprinkle of toasted pecans, if desired.
