  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances overall flavor

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon. This ensures even distribution of ingredients and a light, airy texture.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  • Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Tip: Avoid overmixing—keeping a few lumps in the batter helps maintain a soft and fluffy texture.

Step 2: Customize with Flavorful Add-Ins

  • This is where you can personalize your breakfast treats with delicious mix-ins:
  • Fresh berries – for a juicy, fruity pop
  • Chia or flaxseeds – adds fiber and a boost of nutrients
  • Chopped nuts – brings a satisfying crunch
  • Dark chocolate chips – for a rich, indulgent touch
  • If making multiple variations, divide the batter into smaller portions before adding different mix-ins to each batch.

Step 3: Cook to Perfection

  • For Pancakes:
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
  • Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  • For Waffles:
  • Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it.
  • Pour the batter into the center and spread slightly before closing the lid.
  • Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
  • For Muffins:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  • Fill each muffin cup ¾ full with batter.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Let your DTI Breakfast Inspired Treats cool slightly before serving.
  • Add a finishing touch with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Pair with coffee, tea, or a fresh smoothie to complete your morning meal.
