Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings (Customize to your liking):

• Fresh fruits (sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries, or apples)
• Maple syrup or honey
• Whipped cream
• Chocolate chips
• Nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)
• Yogurt (plain or flavored)
• Nut butter (peanut butter or almond butter)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
2. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
3. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
4. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 3: Assemble the Pancake Bowl

1. Stack 2-3 pancakes in a bowl, breaking them into pieces if desired for easier eating.
2. Top the pancakes with your choice of fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup or honey, a dollop of whipped cream, and any other toppings you love.
3. Add a sprinkle of chocolate chips or nuts for extra flavor and texture.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve the pancake bowl immediately while warm. Enjoy with a fork or spoon, and savor the delightful combination of fluffy pancakes and your favorite toppings!

Tips

• For a healthier option, consider using whole wheat flour or adding oats to the batter.
• Experiment with different flavorings in the batter, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, for added warmth.
• Make it a fun family activity by letting everyone customize their own pancake bowls with their favorite toppings!
