Whole-wheat Cornmeal Cereal Pancakes with Jalapeno and Honey

I love corn and cornmeal and grew up eating it in various forms, but never pancakes! Combining whole wheat flour and cornmeal not only adds a gritty dimension to your pancakes but gives you extra benefits like added fiber and vitamins. Adding jalapenos and honey gives them an extra kick and some natural sweetness and both ingredients are known to compliment cornmeal based baked goods such as muffins and bread. Enjoy these mini pancakes in cereal form, inspired by the Tik Tok and Instagram craze.

Ingredients

1 egg

1 cup almond milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons honey

3/4 cups cornmeal

3/4 cups whole wheat flour

Pinch of salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 tablespoons jalapenos, minced

2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Step  1

Whisk the egg, vanilla, and milk in a medium-sized bowl. 

Step 2

Whisk in the honey, then add the cornmeal and whole wheat flour, whisk until there are no lumps. Mix in the baking powder and cinnamon.

Step 3

Heat and grease a non-stick pan, and move your batter to a piping bag (you can also use a plastic or zip lock bag and make a small incision in one of the corner tips.

Step 4

Pipe the batter at your desired size into the pan and while one side is cooking sprinkle the minced jalapeno on top, then turn over when you start to see bubbles do not burn! Set aside and cook your mini pancakes in batches.

Step 5

Once they are all done, toss the pancakes in the melted butter to crisp them up a bit and add some buttery flavor.

Serve hot in a bowl with butter, warm milk, and honey!
