Perfect Pancakes

About the Recipe

Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings

1 c (120 g) flour
1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) ground cinnamon
1 c (240 mL) low-fat nondairy milk
2 tbsp (30 mL) pure maple syrup
1 banana, sliced (optional)
1 c (148 g) blueberries (optional)

Directions

1. Whisk flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in milk and maple syrup (can substitute applesauce or pumpkin puree). Let batter rest for 10 minutes.

   
   
   

2. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet. Check batter. If it's very thick and heavy, add more milk as needed to thin. Pour 1/4 c (60 mL) of batter for each pancake. When bubbles appear, slide a spatula underneath and gently flip. Optional: Add banana slices or berries into the batter. Cook another 2-3 minutes.

   
   
   

3. Serve pancakes with syrup, if desired. If you haven't already added the fruit to the batter, serve the fruit on top.

   
   
   

4. Note: Use multiple kinds of berries for added colors and textures. Just be sure to slice them if they are large as in the case of strawberries.
