Buttermilk Wheat Pancakes

Submitted by knobbyknee

"This originally was an all purpose flour recipe that we tried to make healthier. We also substitute the sugar with Splenda. You can put a couple tablespoons of melted butter in the recipe, but I leave it out. My family loves them. My 4 year old makes them with me. He measures and tastes all ingredients. This recipe has been cut in half from the original to fit our family, so double if needed."

I've been trying a lot of whole wheat pancake recipes lately and all have been good, but these are exceptional. They were delicious, fluffy and easy. I used Splenda, added about 1-1/2 tablespoons of Canola oil and had a few fresh blueberries which I dropped in as they started to cook. I believe this will be my #1 pancake recipe from now on. I can't wait to find out if they freeze well.

We really enjoyed these pancakes. They were very tasty & healthy, besides being extremely easy to whip up! I like them without any butter or syrup. Thanks.
