  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes (serves 3–4)
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (preferably pure)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil (plus more for cooking)
  • Optional toppings: more maple syrup, butter, chopped pecans, sliced bananas, or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter or oil.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and fluffy.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm with desired toppings.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
  • Add-ins like chopped fruit or chocolate chips work well in the batter.
  • To reheat, use a toaster or skillet for best texture.
  • To make vegan, use flax egg, plant-based milk, and oil.
  • Pancakes can be frozen with parchment paper between layers.
