Introduction
Have you ever felt that your pancake game could use a little boost? If so, you’re not alone. Research indicates that nearly 80% of home cooks seek new ways to enhance their breakfast staples. Imagine transforming your regular pancakes into fluffy, flavor-packed delights with the simple addition of malted milk powder. These malted milk pancakes not only deliver a taste sensation but also elevate your brunch experience to a new level.
Ingredients List
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons malted milk powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or non-dairy milk substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Timing
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes — 30% faster than the average pancake recipe.
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, malted milk powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This perfect blend is key to achieving that deliciously unique flavor and fluffy texture.
Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure everything is fully incorporated for the best consistency.
Step 3: Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. It’s okay if there are a few lumps; overmixing can lead to dense pancakes.
Step 4: Heat the Griddle
Preheat your griddle or skillet over medium heat. A hot cooking surface allows for that perfect golden-brown exterior.
Step 5: Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Look for bubbles to form on the surface before flipping — this usually takes 2-3 minutes. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the pancake is cooked through.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the griddle and serve warm, topped with your favorite delights, whether that’s fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a drizzle of syrup.

Healthier Alternatives
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- To make these pancakes vegan, use a flax egg in place of the egg and opt for a plant-based milk.
- Substitute sugar with a stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie version.
Serving Suggestions
For a delightful twist, pair your malted milk pancakes with seasonal fruits like berries or bananas. A sprinkle of chopped nuts offers an added crunch, and a dollop of Greek yogurt can elevate the dish, boosting the protein content. You could even layer pancakes with ricotta cheese for a delightful combination of flavors.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don’t skip the resting period. Allowing the batter to rest for about 5 minutes lets the gluten relax, making for lighter pancakes.
- Avoid pressing down on pancakes with a spatula while cooking, as this can deflate their fluffy texture.
- Ensure your pan is adequately heated before adding pancake batter — an oven thermometer can help achieve perfect results.
Storing Tips
Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual pancakes between layers of parchment paper and place them in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast solution.
