Servings 6 pancakes
Calories 124kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large egg preferably organic
- 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup plus more for serving
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly, then stir in the low-fat buttermilk, extra-virgin olive oil and maple syrup until well combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients for later use and pour the wet ingredients inside the well. Gently fold the mixture together until just combined, being careful not to overmix. It's okay if the batter is a bit lumpy.
- Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it lets the baking powder activate (the secret to fluffy pancakes!).
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of olive oil or cooking spray. When hot, use a 1/4 cup measure to pour the batter onto the skillet. You want to form round pancakes.
- Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 2 minutes. It should be golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve hot, with your favorite healthy toppings (maple syrup and fresh berries or sliced bananas).
