Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large Egg
- 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 as needed Cooking oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
Step 2
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.
Step 3
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy, but do not overmix.
Step 4
Gradually stir in the melted butter until incorporated into the batter.
Step 5
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.
Step 6
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon or measuring cup to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Step 7
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Step 9
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of yogurt.
