Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Mix: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole-wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and stir in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat and Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Flip: Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and garnish with your choice of toppings. Serve warm and enjoy!
