Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
-
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
-
Preheat Griddle or Pan:
- Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
-
Cook Pancakes:
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle or pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as monk fruit syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
Tips:
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Add mix-ins like blueberries, chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter for variety.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (200°F/90°C) while finishing the rest.
