Instructions

Prepare the pancake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth. If you’re using food coloring, add it now and stir to incorporate until you have a beautiful pink batter.
Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or cooking spray. Pour about ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, forming circles. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Make the white chocolate maple syrup: In a small saucepan, heat the maple syrup and heavy cream over medium heat until warmed. Add the white chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Serve: Stack the fluffy pink pancakes on plates and pour the creamy white chocolate maple syrup over the top. You can garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
Enjoy: Dive into these soft, sweet pancakes and enjoy the indulgent maple syrup!

Notes

Food Coloring: For a lighter pink hue, reduce the amount of food coloring. You can also skip it for a natural color and still enjoy these delicious pancakes.
Toppings: You can top these pancakes with additional white chocolate chips, fresh berries, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Make it dairy-free: Use non-dairy milk (like almond or oat milk) and a dairy-free butter substitute to make this recipe dairy-free.
