4.3 from 26 reviews

Soft and fluffy whole wheat pancakes with a light texture and nutty flavor, perfect for a healthy and satisfying breakfast option that combines wholesome ingredients with an easy-to-follow method.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pancakes

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, and melted butter or oil until smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
  4. Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles start forming on the surface and edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 more minutes.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from the griddle and serve pancakes immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine.
  • Rest the batter for 5 minutes before cooking to enhance fluffiness.
  • Use a non-stick griddle or skillet for best results.
  • You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative if preferred.
  • Serve with fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt for added flavor.
