Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Make a well in the center for the wet ingredients.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
-
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
-
Fold in the diced peaches. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
-
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
-
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
-
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top and the edges begin to set.
-
Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Step 4: Make the Cinnamon Peach Topping (Optional)
-
In a small skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat.
-
Add diced peaches, cinnamon, and brown sugar or honey.
-
Sauté for 3–5 minutes until peaches are soft and lightly caramelized.
-
Remove from heat and spoon over your stack of pancakes.
Step 5: Serve & Top
-
Stack pancakes and top with maple syrup, whipped cream, extra peaches, and chopped nuts if desired.
-
Serve warm and enjoy every peachy, cinnamon-spiced bite.
Notes
Use Ripe Peaches – Juicier peaches give more flavor and texture.
Don’t Overmix – Stir gently to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
Cook on Medium Heat – Prevents burning and allows even cooking.
Make It Seasonal – Substitute apples or pears when peaches aren’t available.
Keep Warm – Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
