Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour (freshly milled if available)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (optional, for added flavor)
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted) or neutral oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the milk and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice). Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the egg, maple syrup (or honey), melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and whisk until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if necessary.

Step 7

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 start to set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
