Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup granola
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: granola, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed and no large clumps remain.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: milk, egg, and melted butter until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl and gently fold together. Mix until just combined - be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough. Some small lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 3-5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the granola to soften slightly.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop batter onto the heated surface. Cook pancakes until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and continue cooking the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or additional granola sprinkled on top.
Tips
- Let your batter rest for exactly 3-5 minutes - this is the secret to achieving the perfect pancake texture and allowing the granola to soften slightly.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and keep the heat at a consistent medium temperature to avoid burning.
- Don't overmix the batter! Small lumps are perfectly okay and will help keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle some additional granola on top of the pancakes just before serving.
- If you want to make the pancakes ahead of time, you can keep them warm in a low-temperature oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the entire batch.
- Experiment with different types of granola to create unique flavor variations - try honey almond, chocolate chip, or fruit and nut granola for exciting twists!
