Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Butter, for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Optional toppings: fresh berries, sliced bananas, or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. This mixture forms the base for your fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until these wet ingredients are fully combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. It is okay if there are a few lumps; do not over-mix the batter for your fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes, as this can lead to dense results.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface for cooking the best fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes.
  5. For each pancake, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. This is key to achieving light and fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
  7. Stack the homemade fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes on a plate and drizzle with maple syrup. Top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, or whipped cream if desired.
  8. Enjoy your delicious, fluffy maple cinnamon pancakes!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute almond milk for regular milk.
