  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Don't overmix - some small lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes).
  7. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Pro Tips

  • Don't overmix the batter - this will make your pancakes tough
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking
  • Make sure your pan is at the right temperature - test with a small amount of batter first
  • Keep pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven while cooking the rest

Variations

  • Add fresh blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter
  • Sprinkle with cinnamon for extra flavor
  • Make them whole wheat by substituting half the flour
  • Add vanilla extract for extra flavor
