In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and sea salt.
Pour in the melted butter, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until just combined but do not to overmix (a few lumps are fine).
Lightly grease a microwave-safe plate with a thin layer of butter or a spritz of cooking spray.
Spoon around 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the center of the greased plate. Try to shape it into a round disc.
