Ingredients

- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk

- ¼ cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

How to Make Coffee-Flavored Pancakes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, brewed coffee, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground coffee or cocoa powder for an extra touch.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the best rise.
- Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps your pancakes light and fluffy.
- Use a ladle or measuring cup for even pancake sizes.
- Keep pancakes warm in the oven set to low while you finish cooking the rest.
Easy Variations
- For a chocolate twist, add chocolate chips to the batter.
- Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Mix in spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for added warmth.
- Experiment with different toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or banana slices.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
