Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk or buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped mixed nuts such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, or hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts for garnish
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit such as cranberries or raisins
  • A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth
Substitutions
  • Vegan: Use a plant-based milk and flax eggs 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water = 1 egg, and replace butter with coconut oil.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free flour.
  • Low-Sodium: Reduce or omit the salt.

Method
 

Prepare the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chopped nuts (and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit).
  5. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Cook the Pancakes
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
  2. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  3. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set.
  4. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the Pancakes
  1. Stack the Nutty Pancakes on a plate and sprinkle with finely chopped nuts for garnish.
  2. Serve with maple syrup, butter, and any other desired toppings like fresh fruit or whipped cream.
  3. Enjoy!

Notes/Advice:

  • Additions/Subtractions:
    • If you like your pancakes extra fluffy, use buttermilk instead of regular milk, and make sure not to overmix the batter.
    • You can adjust the amount and type of nuts based on your preference. Pecans and walnuts work beautifully, but almonds and hazelnuts are also delicious.
    • For a fun twist, try serving the pancakes with a flavored butter, like cinnamon-honey butter or maple-pecan butter.
