There is nothing quite like a stack of warm pancakes on a slow weekend morning. These are made with simple, good for you ingredients that leave you feeling satisfied without being heavy.

My favorite trick for the best texture is to let the batter rest for a few minutes while the pan heats up. This helps the flour hydrate properly and makes your pancakes extra fluffy every single time.

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 and 1/4 cups milk of your choice
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, stir the milk, egg, melted oil, sweetener, and vanilla until well combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix as a few small lumps are perfectly fine.

  4. 4

    Let the batter sit for about five minutes while you preheat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Pour about one third cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.

  6. 6

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in the toaster for a quick weekday breakfast. These freeze beautifully too, just place a piece of parchment paper between each pancake so they do not stick.
