Chai Spiced Pancakes

Fluffy pancakes infused with warm chai spices create a comforting breakfast treat perfect for cozy mornings or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and all the chai spices until evenly combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping pancakes warm as needed.
  8. Serve warm with maple syrup, yogurt, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute buttermilk with almond milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and use coconut oil instead of butter.
