Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour whole wheat
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and optional 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

  2. In another bowl whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter.

  3. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until fully combined.

  4. Preheat griddle to 375°F and grease with butter or non-stick spray.

  5. Scoop the pancake batter onto the heated griddle by 1/4 cup spoonfuls. I love using this cookie scoop, but you can also just use a 1/4 cup measuring cup.

  6. Cook for a couple minutes until small bubbles form on the top of the surface. Flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until pancakes are fully cooked.
