In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
In a medium bowl, whisk the maple syrup, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and canola oil until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Reserve 0.25 cup of diced bacon for garnish and stir the remaining bacon into the batter.
Melt butter in a large skillet over low heat. Pour 0.25 cup portions of batter onto the skillet, cooking until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook until golden brown.
Serve pancakes topped with reserved bacon, butter, and extra maple syrup.
Notes
These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet with warm maple syrup and crispy bacon on top.
