These wholesome barley-oat pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, offering a hearty and flavorful start to your day.
In a large bowl, combine the barley flour, oat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients together to ensure a smooth batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the nonfat milk, egg, light olive oil, clear honey, and vanilla extract.
Make sure the wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the batter.
Pour about 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown.
Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
Garnish with fresh fruit or nuts for added flavor and texture.
