These essentials form the perfect foundation for a delicious fluffy, and energy-boosting breakfast treat:
1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose for a lighter texture
1 teaspoon baking powder for a soft, airy bite
½ teaspoon cinnamon adds warmth and depth
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup a touch of natural sweetness
1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances overall flavor
½ cup milk dairy or plant-based (for a moist, smooth consistency)
1 large egg helps bind everything together
2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil adds richness and tenderness

Want to make your DTI Breakfast Inspired Treats even more exciting? Choose from these tasty mix-ins to match your cravings:
Fresh berries blueberries, raspberries, or diced strawberries – A juicy, fruity burst.
Chia seeds or flaxseeds – Adds a dose of fiber and healthy fats.
Chopped nuts walnuts, almonds, pecans – Brings crunch and depth of flavor.
Dark chocolate chips – A little indulgence goes a long way!
Shredded coconut – For a tropical hint of sweetness.

Take your breakfast experience to the next level with these delicious finishing touches:
A drizzle of honey or maple syrup for a touch of extra sweetness.
A dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess and a protein boost.
A sprinkle of granola for a satisfying crunch.
Sliced bananas or fresh berries for natural sweetness.
A dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor depth.

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.

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.

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.

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.
