Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or other whole grain flour of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • Optional add-ins: chopped fruits nuts, or spices

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk and melted butter or oil.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  • If desired, fold in any optional add-ins such as chopped fruits, nuts, or spices.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, or nut butter.
