This easy overnight fluffy pancake batter recipe allows you to prepare batter the night before and wake up to perfectly airy, tender pancakes that are quick to cook and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) milk (whole or 2%, or dairy-free almond/oat milk)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (or coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Optional add-ins: blueberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: beat egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  3. Combine wet and dry: pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and gently whisk until just combined; batter will be lumpy.
  4. Cover and refrigerate: cover bowl and refrigerate overnight or at least 8 hours.
  5. Preheat pan: heat non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until a few drops of water sizzle and evaporate.
  6. Cook pancakes: stir batter gently, pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto pan, cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set, flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden.
  7. Serve immediately with butter, syrup, fresh fruit, or favorite toppings.

Notes

Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Do not overmix batter to keep pancakes tender. Let batter rest overnight for fluffiest texture. Medium heat cooking prevents burning and ensures even cooking. Substitute gluten-free flour or vegan ingredients as needed.
