These brown sugar pancakes are a delicious and comforting breakfast! The pancakes are light and fluffy, sweetened with brown sugar and maple syrup, and have a hint of vanilla and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay!
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, use a ¼ cup scoop to portion out as many pancakes as will fit in your pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, or it will be hard to flip.
Cook the pancakes on the first side until you see bubbles forming on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they're golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with any remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon.
Enjoy!
