2 cups all-purpose flour This is the foundation for your fluffy pancakes, creating the perfect base.
2 tablespoons brown sugar Adds a rich sweetness that complements the nuttiness of the pecans.
2 teaspoons baking powder Ensures your pancakes rise beautifully, achieving that light, fluffy texture.
1 teaspoon baking soda Works alongside baking powder for extra lift, making the pancakes airy.
1 teaspoon cinnamon A dash of this spice brings warmth and nostalgia to your breakfast.
½ teaspoon salt A pinch balances the sweetness and enhances overall flavor.
2 cups buttermilk Gives these pancakes a moist, tender crumb and a hint of tanginess.
2 large eggs Essential for binding the ingredients and enriching the flavor.
¼ cup butter A bit of melted butter adds richness and a delightful buttery flavor.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract A small splash elevates the taste, ensuring every bite is delicious.
1 cup pecans These finely chopped nuts are what make these fluffy pecan pancakes truly special, offering a satisfying crunch.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Set aside once combined.
In a separate bowl, blend 2 cups of buttermilk, 2 large eggs, ¼ cup of melted and cooled butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined; carefully fold in 1 cup of finely chopped pecans.
Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes while you preheat your griddle to medium heat.
Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until bubbles form on top, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Transfer pancakes to a warm plate and serve them warm with your favorite toppings.

For an extra treat, consider drizzling them with maple syrup or pairing with fresh fruits. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
