For extra flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. If you don't have cold brewed coffee, you can substitute with regular coffee or additional milk. Be sure to use a light hand when mixing the batter; overmixing will result in tough pancakes. For a richer flavor, brown the butter before melting it.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, cold brewed coffee, melted butter, and eggs until thoroughly combined. (2 minutes)
02
StepIn a separate, large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, light brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. (3 minutes)
03
StepPour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay! (2 minutes)
04
StepLet the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in even fluffier pancakes. (10-15 minutes)
05
StepHeat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray. (3 minutes)
06
StepPour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set. (2-3 minutes per side)
07
StepFlip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side. (1-2 minutes)
08
StepServe immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Dec 28, 2024I didn't have whole wheat flour, so I used all all-purpose. They were still good, but I'll try it with whole wheat next time for the added nutrients.
