Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1.25 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour 0.25 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days—reheat in a toaster or skillet.
