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.
