One tablespoon of milk. I’m using almond milk, one tablespoon of maple syrup, and a splash of vanilla. And we’re just going to blend that up until it’s well combined.

Mix the Dry Ingredients

Next, we’re going to combine the dry ingredients:

• A half cup of flour
• One tablespoon of baking powder
• A quarter teaspoon of cinnamon
• And a quarter teaspoon of salt

Now just add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, give it a good stir, and just make sure that everything is well combined.

Cook the Pancakes

Now heat a skillet over medium to high heat, add a little butter, and we’re going to spoon the batter right into the pan. So this will make about four pancakes. And you want to flip them when they’re about halfway through cooking and just make sure that the centers are really well cooked before you remove them from the pan.

And now you’re just going to repeat this process until all four pancakes have been cooked, flipping halfway through and just making sure that they’re really well cooked.

Add Your Toppings

And now we’re just going to add our toppings. So I’m using some mixed berries here that were frozen and I have thawed them in the microwave. You could also do something like apples and cinnamon.

That would be really nice, or even bananas and peanut butter, just whatever you like on top.

And there you have it.

Dig in and enjoy!
