Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until well-blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread gently, if needed, to form a circle.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while preparing the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the spiced whole wheat pancakes warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.
