Delightful Donut-Pancakes! #NationalDonutDay

Happy National Donut Day!!  Celebrate today by either eating a delicious homemade donut from your local bakery, or by making these simple Delightful Donut-Pancakes!  

Unfortunately I do not own a donut pan of any kind.  But, I didn't want that to stop me from having a delicious homemade donut or donut-like food to celebrate today!  This recipe is Simple & Clean (go figure- haha), and only takes about 10 minutes! It's a great way to get that donut taste you crave while treating your body kindly. Delicious and nutritious! But DONUT take my word for it, try this simple recipe today!  

Delightful Donut-Pancakes
makes about 10

Ingredients:

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (This large amount helps them rise like donuts!)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons of butter or coconut oil , melted ( I used coconut oil.)
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons of milk (I used almond milk.)

​

1. Combine together flour, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the melted butter/oil, egg, vanilla and milk. Slowly whisk well until smooth. Set aside.
2. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over low-medium heat and wipe over with a little butter or oil on a paper towel to lightly grease pan. Pour a ¼ cup of batter onto the pan and spread out gently (if needed) with the back of your spoon/ladle into a round shape. 
3. When the underside is golden, gently flip with a spatula and cook until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
4. Place your donut-pancakes on a cooling rack to keep the outside crispy. 
5. Eat them with your favorite donut toppings, like peanut butter, jelly, Nutella, cinnamon and sugar, sprinkles, or even just honey and maple syrup.

  
No matter how you eat them, they will be delightfully delicious- Yum!
