Ingredients

Makes 4 Servings


  • 1 c (120 g) flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) ground cinnamon
  • 1 c (240 mL) low-fat nondairy milk
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) pure maple syrup
  • 1 banana, sliced (optional)
  • 1 c (148 g) blueberries (optional)

Directions

  1. Whisk flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a medium bowl until well combined. Stir in milk and maple syrup (can substitute applesauce or pumpkin puree). Let batter rest for 10 minutes.



  2. Meanwhile, heat a nonstick skillet. Check batter. If it's very thick and heavy, add more milk as needed to thin. Pour 1/4 c (60 mL) of batter for each pancake. When bubbles appear, slide a spatula underneath and gently flip. Optional: Add banana slices or berries into the batter. Cook another 2-3 minutes.



  3. Serve pancakes with syrup, if desired. If you haven't already added the fruit to the batter, serve the fruit on top.



  4. Note: Use multiple kinds of berries for added colors and textures. Just be sure to slice them if they are large as in the case of strawberries.
