Cooking with Breast Milk: Vanilla Cinnamon Pancakes Recipe

Dry Ingredients:

• All-purpose flour, 1 cup
• Sugar, 1 tablespoon
• Ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon
• Himalayan pink salt, 1/8 teaspoon
• Baking powder, ½ tablespoon

Wet Ingredients:

• Breast milk, 1 cup
• Apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla extract, ½ tablespoon
• Cooking oil, ½ tablespoon

Instructions:

• In a measuring cup or small bowl, measure out your breast milk. Add the apple cider vinegar to make a breast milk buttermilk. Set this aside while you prep the remaining ingredients.
• Add your flour to a large bowl and stir in the other dry ingredients (your sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder).
• Pour the wet ingredients (your breast milk mixture, vanilla extract, and cooking oil) into the bowl of dry ingredients.
• Carefully whisk the batter, but be sure not to over-mix!
• Let the batter rest for about 3 minutes and heat your pan or skillet over medium heat.
• Heat more cooking oil in your pan or skillet, and then add about ¼ cup of batter.
• Your pancakes will be ready to flip once small bubbles begin to form and pop along the sides and top of the pancake.
• Flip and cook on each side until lightly browned and then serve!
