American Classic Pancakes are a light, fluffy, and delicious breakfast favorite that are quick and easy to make. To prepare them, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Ingredients

Instructions

    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

    • In another bowl, beat the egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla.

    • Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined (don’t overmix).

    • Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

    • Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the pan.

    • Cook until bubbles form on top and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

    • Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

  1. Drain and rinse the beans. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.

  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) 🔥.

  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion 🧅, bell pepper, and garlic 🧄, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

    Don’t overmix the batter; lumps are okay — this keeps pancakes fluffy. For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter. Can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
  4. Add the oregano, basil, salt 🧂, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

  5. Add the tomato sauce 🍅 and cooked beans to the skillet and stir to combine.

  6. Spread the bean mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the vegan cheese 🧀 shreds and vegan parmesan cheese on top.

  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes 🕒, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  8. Serve hot ♨ and enjoy!
