Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. 
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay! 
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or nonstick cooking spray. 
  • Once the skillet is hot, use a ¼ cup scoop to portion out as many pancakes as will fit in your pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, or it will be hard to flip. 
  • Cook the pancakes on the first side until you see bubbles forming on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with any remaining batter. 
  • Serve the pancakes topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
