- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour or substitute with another ½ cup of all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups milk use your favorite dairy-free milk to make this recipe dairy-free
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ - 1 cup mix-ins like blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or sprinkles optional
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together 1 ½ cups milk, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup canola oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until there is no more un-mixed flour, but the batter is still quite lumpy. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
While the batter rests, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease generously with butter, oil, or bacon fat.
Gently stir the batter again, and spoon onto your preheated skillet or griddle in ¼ to ½ cup portions, depending on how large you want your pancakes. Cook until the edges of the batter have set, and the bottom is browned, about 5 minutes. Flip pancakes with a large flipper, and cook until browned, another 2-3 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed if the pancakes are burning, or are not browning. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the skillet between each batch for best results.
Serve pancakes immediately with syrup and/or powdered sugar. To freeze, cool pancakes completely, then lay pancakes in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer pancakes to an airtight container or freezer bag. Thaw and reheat in the microwave to serve.
