Ingredients
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup fine ground cornmeal
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups unsweetened almond milk, or any milk, at room temperature
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil, or another neutral oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Desired toppings, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, almond extract and honey until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until no dry streaks remain. The batter should still be a little lumpy. Let it rest for 5 minutes while you heat the pan.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
- Give the batter a quick stir, then pour about ¼ cup per pancake into the skillet, leaving room for them to spread. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until small bubbles form on top and the edges look set.
- Flip and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Cook time: the times assume a skillet that fits 3 pancakes at once. On a large griddle the whole batch goes much faster.
Keep them warm: hold finished pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you cook the rest.
Vegan version: use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, rested 5 minutes) and swap the honey for maple syrup.
Storage: refrigerate cooled pancakes for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or a 350°F (175°C) oven.
