Breakfast is kind of a big deal around here, and one of the most requested items are these pancakes! I literally make them once a week, and now that the kids are growing so fast and becoming little “food processors,” as my husband calls them, I make a double batch, and reheat them over the course of the week in the toaster! They are so fluffy and light, but really comforting and sure to be a huge hit.
Use the biggest skillet or griddle that you have, so that you don’t have to stand over the stove forever. Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet lined with a rack in preheated 200*F oven, to keep them warm and crispy, until you’re ready to serve.
This is a great recipe to get creative with, so add your favorite cut fruit or chocolate chips to each pancake before you flip, SO good!
Fluffiest Pancakes
Breakfast Icon - light and fluffy pancakes that come out perfectly every time!
Ingredients
- 1 c AP flour
- 1 c white whole wheat flour
- 4 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 T sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 c vegetable or coconut oil
- 1/3 c plain greek yogurt
- 2 c milk (regular, buttermilk, or almond milk)
Directions
- Step 1 Combine the flours, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon in a medium bowl, and mix with a fork to combine.
- Step 2 Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
- Step 3 In a separate bowl, mix the eggs, oil, greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Add to dry ingredients, and mix with a fork until mostly combined, with some small lumps of flour remaining. Don’t over mix!
- Step 4 Lightly butter the preheated pan or griddle and pour the batter by 1/4 cup scoops onto the griddle (I like to use a measuring cup so they’re all the same size). Optional: Add blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, etc at this stage (before the flip). Cook 3-4 minutes or until there are bubbles throughout the top of the pancakes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until lightly browned on the bottom. Serve warm with butter, honey, syrup, or fresh fruit.
- Step 5 *To keep the pancakes warm while cooking in batches, heat the oven to 200*F, and place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet lined with a baking rack (to prevent sogginess!)
