A simple and heartfelt breakfast recipe featuring fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon, perfect for Father’s Day or cozy weekend mornings. This recipe combines pantry staples with easy steps to create a warm, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
  • ½ cup oat flour (50 g) (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (300 ml) (whole milk preferred)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon (nitrate-free if possible)
  • Pure maple syrup (as desired)
  • Fresh berries or sliced bananas (optional)
  • Butter (to spread on pancakes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay bacon slices on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, oat flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure butter is not too hot to avoid scrambling eggs.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) batter per pancake onto skillet.
  6. Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven if cooking multiple batches.
  7. Serve pancakes stacked with crispy bacon on the side, drizzle with maple syrup, and add fresh berries or sliced bananas if desired.

Notes

If batter is too thick after resting, whisk in a splash of milk. If too thin, add a teaspoon of flour. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes tender. Bake bacon for even crispiness and easier cleanup. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.
