Soft, fluffy, and flavorful whole wheat pancakes packed with fiber and nutrients, ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for a wholesome breakfast with a light drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons oil (or melted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently until just combined. The batter should still be a little lumpy—do not overmix.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and let it warm for about 60-90 seconds. Lightly grease the skillet with butter or oil.
  5. Spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook until the edges start to look dry and bubbles pop on the surface, roughly 2 minutes.
  7. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through; if the pan gets too hot, turn the heat down a bit.
  8. Lightly grease the pan between batches to prevent sticking.

Notes

Do not overmix to avoid chewy pancakes; a few lumps in the batter are okay., Use fresh baking powder (less than 6-12 months old) for best rise., Maintain medium heat to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning., Adjust batter thickness as needed by adding milk or flour., Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch., Variations include adding blueberries, chocolate chips, mashed banana, nuts, seeds, or spices like cinnamon and nutmeg., To make dairy-free, substitute milk with plant-based alternatives like oat, almond, or soy milk., Pancakes can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 2 months., Reheat refrigerated pancakes in toaster or oven; frozen pancakes can also be toasted or warmed in the oven.
