This recipe for whole wheat pancakes from scratch is perfect for those looking for a healthier breakfast option. Made with wholesome ingredients like whole wheat flour and honey, these pancakes are light, fluffy, and delicious. Serve them with fresh fruits and a drizzle of maple syrup for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, honey, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  7. Serve the whole wheat pancakes warm with your favorite toppings.
