Enjoy these tasty pancakes with fresh fruit and a tiny bit of powdered sugar for just a touch of sweetness. If you aren't looking to cut back on sugar, then go ahead and add maple syrup or whipped cream.
Ingreadient
- 1 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablepsoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, optional
- Fresh berries, for garnish
- Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
- Lemon zest, for garnish
Direction
- Gather the ingredients.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl, including the ground cinnamon if you have chosen to add it to your batter.
- In a large measuring cup, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until completely incorporated. If you are including maple syrup, you can add it at this time as well. You can also just use regular sugar in place of the maple syrup.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Whisk until just combined. A few small lumps are fine, but whisk out any large ones. Be careful not to overwork the batter or the pancakes will become tough.
- Heat your griddle onto high heat and turn the heat down to medium once it has been warmed up. Add the batter to the griddle and cook until the bubbles settle.
- Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown.
- Top with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and some lemon zest if you wish.
- Serve and enjoy!
