These Whole Wheat Pancakes are made with 100% whole wheat flour and they taste absolutely delicious! They’re a healthier option to enjoy for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (5 ounces by weight)
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk*
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter**
- butter for greasing the griddle
Instructions
- 1In a big bowl, whisk to combine the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- 2In another bowl, whisk to combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
- 3Whisk the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and stir the two together until just barely mixed. You want any visible loose flour to be stirred in, but there should still be plenty of lumps. If you stir out the lumps, the pancakes will likely be tough.
- 4Preheat a nonstick griddle to 375 degrees F and grease the surface with butter.
- 5Add small scoops of pancake batter (the batter will be thick) and use a cookie scoop to gently smooth the scoop into a flatter circle.
- 6Cook for a few minutes, until you see little bubbles forming on the surface.
- 7Flip the pancakes and cook for a couple minutes on the other side. If you peek underneath, the bottom should be golden brown.
- 8Serve with butter, pure maple syrup, or sliced fruit. Enjoy!
