Nutritional Benefits
While pancakes are often thought of as an indulgent breakfast option, these Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pancakes can be made a bit healthier by choosing whole grain flour or adding some oats. They provide carbohydrates for energy, and by incorporating spices like cinnamon, you’re adding antioxidants and promoting digestion. Enjoy these cozy pancakes as part of a balanced breakfast!
Customization Options
The beauty of pancakes lies in their versatility! Here are some fun ideas to make these Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pancakes your own:
- Add-Ins: Try mixing in some chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or even dried fruits like raisins for added texture!
- Fruit Toppings: Top with fresh fruit such as bananas, berries, or apple slices for natural sweetness and color!
- Flavor Variations: Want a twist? Substitute half the flour with cocoa powder for a chocolate version or add a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
Cinnamon Brown Sugar Pancakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil)
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, butter, or fresh fruit!
Tips for Success
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- If your pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat slightly to cook them more evenly.
- Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for a quick breakfast option later!
