3. In another bigger bowl, add all the wet mixture ingredients and whisk them well.

4. Add the flour mix into the wet mixture and using a spatula or even a wooden spoon, mix the pancake batter well until no more flour mixture is visible but the batter is still lumpy.

5. Take you 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill it a little over half way with batter and pour it on top of the hot griddle or skillet.

6. With the back of the 1/4 cup measuring cup, spread the pancake batter gently into a circular shape.

7. Let the pancakes cook for 1 minute before flipping them on the other side and let them cook for an extra minute or minute and a half (cooking times will depend on the size and thickness of your pancakes).

8. Stack your pancakes (if using smaller sizes), drizzle them with fresh Maple syrup and top the with plenty of nuts.
