Ingredients for Fluffy Pancakes

To create these fluffy peach pancakes, gather the following ingredients:

1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder.

You will also need 1 large egg, 1 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Don’t forget the star of the dish: 1 cup of fresh peaches, diced, along with warm maple syrup for serving.

• Fresh Peaches: Use ripe but firm peaches so they don’t become mushy in the batter. Peel or leave the skin on—your choice.
  .
• All-Purpose Flour: Gives the pancakes their soft and fluffy base. Can be swapped with whole wheat flour for extra fiber.
  .
• Baking Powder: Adds the rise and fluffiness.
  .
• Egg: Binds the batter and contributes to texture.
  .
• Milk: Whole milk or any dairy-free milk works to create a smooth, pourable batter.
  .
• Butter: Melted butter in the batter adds richness, and for greasing the skillet, it adds crispy edges.
  .
• Vanilla Extract: Rounds out the flavor and complements the peaches beautifully.
  .
• Salt & Sugar: Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall taste.
  .
• Maple Syrup: Pour it generously over the finished stack—pairs perfectly with warm peaches.

Preparation Steps

Start by mixing the dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking powder until well combined.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Next, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.

Carefully fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Repeat this process until all the batter is used, creating a stack of fluffy pancakes ready to be enjoyed.

Once cooked, stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup.

For an extra touch, top with fresh peach slices and a light sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Tips for the Best Peach Pancakes with Maple Syrup

For the fluffiest pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter—lumps are totally fine. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking to allow the baking powder to activate.

Cook on medium heat so the pancakes cook through without burning. If using very juicy peaches, pat them dry with a paper towel before folding them in to prevent sogginess.

Storage and Warming of Leftovers

Storage:

Refrigerate leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezing:

To freeze, stack pancakes with parchment between them and store in a freezer bag. Keeps well for up to 2 months.

Reheating:

Reheat in the microwave for 15–30 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes. To re-crisp edges, lightly toast in a skillet with a touch of butter.
