Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup diced peaches
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Fold the diced peaches into the pancake batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet, leaving space between each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with additional fresh peach slices, a drizzle of honey, or maple syrup if desired.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Peaches: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy peaches. If they’re not in season, you can substitute with canned or frozen peaches—just make sure to drain them well.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. A few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes.
- Adjust Heat as Needed: Keep an eye on your skillet's temperature. If the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat. You want them golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Them Warm: To keep your pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel. This will help retain heat and moisture.
- Add Toppings: Get creative with toppings! Besides fresh peach slices, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a gentle stir before cooking in the morning!
