The Best Fluffy Pancakes
These pancakes are the epitome of breakfast comfort food – light, fluffy, and delicious. We’ve added a healthy twist with flaxseed and a touch of vanilla and almond extracts to elevate the flavor.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Whisk or mixing spoon
- Spatula
- Griddle or non-stick skillet
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1-2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- avocado oil spray
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and ground flaxseed.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. (If you really like vanilla flavor add 2 tsp of vanilla extract)
- Pour the wet ingredients and melted butter into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a bit lumpy, over-mixing can make the pancakes tough. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Preheat your griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with avocado oil spray. The griddle should be hot but not smoking.
- Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the preheated griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. We love classic maple syrup and fresh berries, but whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar makes fantastic additions.
