Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat flour (1 cup)
  • Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Egg (1, beaten)
  • Milk (1 cup)
  • Honey (2 tablespoons)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then add the milk, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or cooking spray as needed.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts.
