Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large egg

1 cup milk (you can use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option)

2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Butter or oil for cooking

Optional toppings: maple syrup, sliced bananas, nuts, or whipped cream

Instructions
 

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

    Blend the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.

      Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.

        Preheat the Pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to coat the surface.

          Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

            Keep Warm: Place cooked pancakes on a plate and keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F or 93°C) while you finish cooking the remaining batter.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes high on plates and top with butter, a drizzle of maple syrup, sliced bananas, or any desired toppings. Enjoy your delightful breakfast!
