Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes

Sharing our favorite whole wheat pancakes recipe today! My Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes make the perfect breakfast any day of the week!

Whole Wheat Pancakes

You are in for a treat with my whole wheat pancake recipe today! I used a white wheat flour, ground flaxseed and no sugar. I use honey as the sweetener and no oil. I am not kidding when I tell you that my 7 year old can NOT tell the difference between these and my original pancakes from my cookbook. If you’d like a healthier option for a pancake, I highly recommend my recipe. You literally add all the ingredients to one mixing bowl and you are ready to go. Easy and fabulous! Enjoy friends!

How To Make Whole Wheat Pancakes

  1. Place all ingredients into a large mixing bowl, stirring to combine.
  2. Heat a medium non-stick skillet to medium heat. Spoon a few tablespoons of batter into the center of your skillet. With a spoon, form your batter into a nice round pancake. Let cook for about 2 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional minute or so until browned and cooked through. Transfer each pancake to a plate until all batter is used up.
  3. Serve these healthy pancakes with pure maple syrup and sliced/chopped fruit. We like to spread a thin layer of peanut butter on our pancakes and top with berries then syrup.

Tips For Making The Best Pancakes

  1. Mix lightly and give batter a rest!  Mix pancakes minimally to avoid forming toughening gluten. There are a few ways to ensure that you mix pancake batter well without overmixing it. Have all your ingredients at room temperature. Mix cold buttermilk and eggs with melted butter and you get clumps of butter—not the end of the world, but not optimal for even distribution.
  2. Mix the wet and the dry ingredients separately before combining.
  3. Give the batter a rest before cooking. A rest of at least five minutes allows for the even hydration of the batter and also allows the gluten you created—which will develop even with careful, minimal mixing—to relax. The lumps will smooth out somewhat during this rest.
  4. Test a small pancake in the hot skillet/griddle to make sure temperature is good.  No need to waste a full size pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles cover the surface; flip before they all break.
