1/4cupvegetable oil (you can also use coconut oil)
2cupsbuttermilk
1teaspoonvanilla
2cupswhole wheat flour
1/2teaspooncinnamon
2tablespoonsbaking powder
1/2teaspoonsalt
Butter for cooking, plus more for serving
Maple syrup, if desired
Fresh fruit, if desired
Instructions
In a large bowl whisk the eggs, sugar, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla until well combined. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt and stir just until combined. Do not overmix, the batter will likely be lumpy and that’s fine.
Heat an electric griddle to 375°F or heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease the surface with butter. Ladle 1/4 cup spoonfuls of pancake batter onto the hot surface, gently pushing the batter to form a disk. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until bubbles begin to form on the surface of the pancake and the bottom is golden. Carefully flip and cook until the other side is golden. If necessary, keep warm in a 300°F oven until ready to serve. Serve with additional butter, fruit, and maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, make some by combining 2 cups regular milk with 2 tablespoons vinegar (distilled, white wine, or apple cider vinegars work) or lemon juice.
