Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp sugar or natural sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 ¼ cups milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Create Batter: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (avoid over-mixing).
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
- Serve & Enjoy: Stack pancakes on a plate, top with fresh berries, and drizzle with warm maple syrup.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Swap all-purpose flour for almond or oat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth and flavor.
- These pancakes freeze well—store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
