Equipment

  • 1 griddle
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 set of measuring cups
  • 1 Set of measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • cup kefir
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat Griddle

  • Preheat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter, avocado oil, or cooking spray. I like to use a combination of a bit of butter and avocado oil.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and kosher salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients

  • In another mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, kefir, whipping cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Mix the Batter

  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Take care to not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.

Cook the Pancakes

  • Pour 2 tbsp of the batter for each pancake onto the griddle (I used a ¼ cup measuring cup and filled it ~½ way. Cook until bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until the pancakes are golden brown.

Serve

  • Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, Maple Peanut Butter Sauce, sliced apples, fresh berries, or nuts. Enjoy!

Notes

Option to make normal sized pancakes. Use 1/4 cup batter when cooking. 
This recipe is a delicious waffle batter too!
