Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter (melted)
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or crushed nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, cooled brewed coffee, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook the pancakes for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
  8. Serve warm with desired toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or crushed nuts.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, add a bit of espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
  • Use decaf coffee for a lower caffeine option.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute almond milk and coconut oil for milk and butter.
  • Pancakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
