Ingredients

• 1.5 cups spelt flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1.25 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
• 1 as needed butter or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil). Once smooth, add in the milk and vinegar mixture.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep them warm under a clean kitchen towel while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or additional maple syrup.
