These fluffy peach pancakes are the perfect way to enjoy fresh fruit in the morning. With juicy, caramelized peaches folded into the batter and a touch of sweetness, each bite is a slice of summer on your plate.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 fresh peaches (peeled, pitted, and diced)
- 1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the Peaches:
- Peel and chop the peaches into small pieces. Set aside.
Make the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Sprinkle a few pieces of diced peach onto the top of each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
- Stack the pancakes on plates and drizzle with maple syrup. Garnish with extra peach slices or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Tips for Success
- Peach Variations: If fresh peaches aren’t in season, use frozen peaches or canned peaches (just drain them well).
- Add Spice: For extra flavor, sprinkle in some cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter.
- Make Them Fluffy: Don’t overmix the batter; the more you stir, the denser the pancakes will be.
These Peach Pancakes are the perfect combination of sweet, fruity, and fluffy—a delightful way to start your day!
