Step 1 : Preparing the dry ingredients
Start by combining your dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. This helps ensure even texture and consistent flavor throughout your brunch base.
- 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed or chia seeds (optional boost)
Whisk everything together until evenly combined and free of clumps.
In a bowl, whisk together whole grain flour (or oat flour), baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt.
Add optional add-ins like cinnamon, chia seeds, or ground flaxseed for extra nutrition and flavor.
Step 2 : Preparing the wet ingredients
Next, prepare your wet mixture separately to ensure everything blends smoothly.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (dairy or plant-based), and a small amount of honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness.
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add melted coconut oil or butter for richness and moisture. Stir in vanilla extract or citrus zest if you want a brighter flavor profile.
Step 3 : Mixing it all together
Now it’s time to bring everything together for the perfect brunch batter or base.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing. Let batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
Mix just until combined—some small lumps are fine and help keep the texture light. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes before cooking or baking to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate and develop flavor.
