It’s actually 10 pm while I write this and all I can think is, how awesome would it be to bust out some fluffy pancakes and just devour the heck out of them with Cade while the kids are asleep. Maybe I’d even make some warm peanut butter maple syrup. Oh, my gosh, now I’m dying over here! I am totally craving more pancakes!

It’s silly, but I seriously love doing little things like that once the kids are asleep. I’ll make or buy some totally awesome treat (ummm hello key lime pie milkshake) and we totally veg out like we are 20 somethings again. Do we feel it the next day? Why yes, yes we do as we are totally getting old and our bedtime is the earliest it’s been since I was in like Jr High, but every once in a while it feels so nice just to chill and eat something wonderful. And wonderful these pancakes are. So, put the kids to bed and make up a batch then cuddle up on the couch and pretend that the whole wheat makes them healthy. Or I guess you could make them for the whole family for breakfast too. It’s up to you.

Are Whole Wheat Pancakes Healthy?

Whole wheat flour, like all whole grains, is a good source of carbohydrates, which provide energy.

Whole grains provide soluble and insoluble fiber.

Soluble fiber helps slow absorption of sugar into your blood and can lower cholesterol.

Insoluble fiber helps you avoid constipation.

The fiber in whole grains helps you feel full, thereby aiding in weight loss and maintenance.

Whole wheat flour is an excellent source of B-vitamins.

Then when you add the benefits of eggs and milk, whole wheat pancakes are a healthy breakfast.

Is Buttermilk Sour Milk?

No, buttermilk is not sour milk, they are different.

Buttermilk is made by adding a lactic acid bacteria to regular pasteurized milk.

Sour milk is made by adding vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk.

Sour milk can be substituted for buttermilk in recipes.

What Can You Substitute For Buttermilk?

For each cup of buttermilk, you can use 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1 cup.

Just stir, and then let it sit for about 5 minutes.

You can also use plain yogurt in place of buttermilk.

Another substitute for buttermilk is 1-3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar plus 1 cup milk.

Servings: 4 -6 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes
Total Time: 8 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup flour, sifted
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup oat flour , *or whole wheat flour see note
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 eggs, slightly whisked
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted and melted

Instructions

  • Preheat a griddle to medium heat.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, flours and sugar. The whole wheat flour will not completely sift through so once it's not moving through anymore just dump it in the bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
  • drizzle in the butter as you continue to whisk.
  • switch to a wooden spoon and make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
  • pour in the wet ingredients and stir until almost completely combined. Please remember, the more you stir pancakes the more flat and tough they will be so please mix until a few streaks of flour are remaining. The batter will be very thick, this is normal.
  • butter the griddle and scoop 1/3 cup of batter and cook until bubbles begin to form, flip and cook until golden.
  • serve immediately.

Notes

Process oats in a food processor to create oat flour or use additional whole wheat flour if you do not have rolled oats
pancakes can be frozen for 2-3 months
