Scrambled pancakes

Ever heard of scrambled pancakes? If not, you're in for a delicious treat. Imagine all the fluffy goodness of pancakes but with a twist that makes them quicker and easier to prepare. Perfect for busy parents looking for a breakfast hack or anyone who just loves a creative spin on classic morning meals.

Ingredients

1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (regular, almond, or any kind you prefer)
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter (melted butter, plus extra for cooking)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. If you're adding extras like chocolate chips or blueberries, now's the time to mix them in.

Place a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Melt a bit of butter in the pan to prevent sticking.

Pour a small amount of batter onto the pan—just enough to cover the surface thinly. Wait until bubbles form on the surface of the batter and the edges start to look set.

Using a spatula, scramble the batter like you would with eggs. Continue stirring and flipping until the pancakes are cooked through and have that lovely golden-brown hue.

Notes

Sugar is optional but who doesn’t love a little sweetness?

Now that your scrambled pancakes are ready, it’s time to think about toppings. 

  • Fresh fruit: Strawberries, bananas, and blueberries add a burst of freshness.
  • Syrup: Maple syrup is a classic choice, but you could also try honey or agave nectar.
  • Whipped cream: A dollop of whipped cream adds a creamy, dreamy finish.
  • Nuts and seeds: For a bit of crunch, sprinkle on some chopped nuts or chia seeds.
  • Yogurt: A spoonful of Greek yogurt can balance the sweetness and add a bit of tang.
Variations

Feeling fancy? You can also throw in some chocolate chips, blueberries, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon, into the batter.
