Tools You’ll Need

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Ladle or scoop

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cinnamon Peaches
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter.
Add chopped peaches, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and ½ tsp cinnamon.
Cook for 3–5 minutes until the peaches are soft and lightly caramelized.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
This ensures even distribution of leavening and flavor.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4: Make the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
Do not overmix—lumpy batter is okay and results in fluffier pancakes.
Fold in half of the cinnamon peach mixture for extra flavor in every bite.

Step 5: Preheat the Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Wait until the pan is hot before cooking your pancakes.

Step 6: Cook the Pancakes
Use a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup to pour batter onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set—about 2–3 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 7: Serve Warm
Stack the pancakes and top with the remaining cinnamon peaches.
Drizzle with maple syrup, and add whipped cream, yogurt, or sliced nuts if desired.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes
Don’t Overmix – A few lumps in the batter are totally fine.
Let Batter Rest – Letting the batter sit for 5 minutes helps it thicken and results in fluffier pancakes.
Use Medium Heat – This allows the pancakes to cook through without burning the outside.
Fresh vs. Canned Peaches – If using canned peaches, drain well and pat dry to prevent soggy pancakes.
Keep Warm – Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.

Serving Suggestions
Peach Syrup – Simmer chopped peaches with a bit of sugar and water for a homemade topping.
Crispy Bacon or Veggie Sausage – For a sweet and savory contrast.
Iced Coffee or Chai – Pairs perfectly with cinnamon-spiced pancakes.
Side of Yogurt – A dollop of vanilla yogurt adds creaminess and a little tang.
Sprinkle of Granola – Adds crunch and texture to your plate.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:
Refrigerate: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freeze: Lay flat in a freezer bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper. Freeze for up to 2 months.

Reheating:
Microwave: Heat in 20-second intervals until warm.
Toaster: Toast lightly for a crisp outside.
Oven: Reheat in a 300°F oven for 5–8 minutes for multiple pancakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make these gluten-free?
   Yes! Substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and check your baking powder for gluten-free labeling.
2. What’s the best way to peel fresh peaches?
   Blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water—the skins will slide off easily.
3. Can I use frozen peaches?
   Yes, just thaw and drain excess liquid before cooking.
4. What milk is best to use?
   Any kind works—whole milk gives richness, but almond, oat, or soy milk are great too.
5. Can I make the batter ahead of time?
   It’s best fresh, but you can mix the dry and wet ingredients separately and combine right before cooking.
