Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 as needed Cooking oil or butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking oil or butter.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter lightly with the back of the spoon if necessary.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
