Healthier Good Old Fashioned Pancakes
YUMMO! We loved these pancakes, and I think you will too. They are perfect for a cozy breakfast or a delightful brunch. Here’s what you need to know to make these scrumptious pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or a sugar substitute)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (or butter)
Instructions
- Start by mixing the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted coconut oil until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; don’t overmix!
- Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of oil or butter for extra flavor.
- Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in a low oven if desired.
- Serve these fluffy pancakes warm with your favorite toppings—think fresh fruits, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt!
These pancakes are not just a treat; they’re a great way to start your day with some wholesome ingredients. Enjoy every bite and feel good knowing you’re indulging in a healthier version of a beloved classic!
