Fluffy whole wheat pancakes topped with fresh berries and syrup.

Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 8 pancakes

  • (1 cup) whole wheat flour
  • (1 tablespoon) baking powder
  • (1/2 teaspoons) salt
  • (1 tablespoon) sugar
  • (1 cup) milk
  • (1) large egg
  • (2 tablespoons) vegetable oil
  • (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
  • (1 cup) mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Add 2/4 teaspoon salt.

  2. 2

    In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    While the batter rests, wash and prepare 1 cup mixed fresh berries, slicing strawberries if large.

  5. 5

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

  6. 6

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

  7. 7

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

  8. 8

    Remove pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

  9. 9

    Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the mixed fresh berries and maple syrup if desired.
