Barley pancakes are a wholesome and delicious way to start your day. Not only do they offer a break from routine, but they also pack in the heart healthy benefits of an ancient grain.
Heat up a griddle pan and lightly brush with olive oil
In a large bowl, whisk the barley flour, baking powder and salt together until thoroughly mixed.
In another bowl, add the maple syrup, egg, 2 cups of milk, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp olive oil, and whisk together.
Make a well in the dry-ingredients bowl, and slowly incorporate the liquid mixture while gently stirring with a wooden spoon. Keep repeating until all the liquid mixture is incorporated. Mix until just combined. Try not to overmix.
Once the griddle is heated, scoop the pancake batter with a ladle and pour it onto the griddle.
When bubbles appear, flip the pancake to the other side for approximately 1-2 minutes. Once you are done, you are ready to enjoy!
