These fluffy no-sugar pancakes are perfect for a healthy breakfast option. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Enjoy them with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey if desired!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This will ensure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using). Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and will result in fluffier pancakes.
Step 4: Preheat the Skillet
While the batter is resting, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
Step 6: Serve
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of honey.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- You can also add blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter for extra texture and taste.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or toaster.
Enjoy your delicious no-sugar pancakes!
