Instructions

FOR THE PANCAKES

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, egg, melted coconut oil or applesauce, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 4

Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or non-stick spray.

Step 5

Pour the batter onto the griddle for a single pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 6

Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

FOR THE LAVENDER MAPLE SYRUP

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup and dried lavender buds over low heat.

Step 9

Allow the mixture to warm gently for about 5-7 minutes, infusing the syrup with lavender flavor. Remove from heat and strain out the lavender buds. Set aside.
