- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk (or plant-based milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
- 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for serving
- 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- A handful of walnuts (optional)
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix – a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with kiwi slices, raspberries, and drizzle generously with maple syrup.
- Garnish with a few walnut halves if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- Substitute kiwi and raspberries with any fresh fruit of choice.
- Use a flax egg and plant-based milk to make it vegan.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
