Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp butter, unsalted

Instructions

  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine both flours, oats, baking powder, brown sugar, pecans and salt.
  • In the same bowl, add the milk, lightly beaten egg, and vanilla, stiring to combine.
  • To make the brown butter, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add your butter and allow it to melt fully. Once it begins to foam, stir constantly 1-2 minutes until it just begins to darken to a deep golden color and becomes fragrant. Immediately remove from heat and pour the butter into the pancake batter, stiring to combine.
  • Using the same skillet, return it to medium heat and spoon your batter into the desired pancake size.
  • Cook each pancake until bubbles appear on the entire surface and the edges begin to set, approximately 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook an additional minute. Remove from heat.
  • To serve, drizzle with maple syrup or top with your favorite fruit preserves.

Notes

  • Reheating tip! The best way to reheat pancakes is to add a small amount of butter to a skillet over medium heat. Add your pancakes to the skillet and allow to reheat for approximately 2 minutes on each side. No more soggy microwave pancakes!
