Light & Fluffy Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

"Whole wheat & fluffy?--Yes! I couldn't believe it either until I tried it. I'm not sure if it was because I milled my own wheat or not, but I'll be making this as my standard pancake recipe now."

Reviews

  1. Used white whole wheat flour and, because the batter seemed thick and I prefer thinner pancakes, additional buttermilk, but the recipe turned out very well, light, tasty, and was very easy. I made it because I had some leftover buttermilk, but will make sure I have some in the refrigerator more often because these pancakes got a great reception and were not “unhealthy”. A solution for those days you want something special for breakfast.
     
  2. I made this with whole wheat pastry flour yummy light fluffy cakes tastes better than with regular flour and I used 2 eggs since I have chickens.....
     
  3. I am always a little uncertain about "wholewheat" sweets but as I need to improve my diet, I tried this for myself and my 9 yo old. Fabulous!! I omitted the sugar altogether, only used half the oil and Almond milk instead of buttermilk.. perfect with a lovely fructose-only fruit jam and, for my son, maple syrup!! A keeper!!
     
  4. Amazing - they don't taste as "healthy" as you think. Just super light and perfect- like whole wheat hotcakes. Perfect quantity for 2 people. This is a keeper :)
     
  5. These pancakes actually are light and fluffy and delicious! I cut the oil in half and omitted the sugar completely (then smothered with butter and maple syrup, of course!) and they were great. My husband agreed this is a keeper.

  1. Additional milk to thin the batter. Added some blueberries to a few pancakes.

  3. These were fantastic! I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of regular and butter instead of oil. They were so fluffy and delicious. I'll definitely make them again, thanks for the recipe.
     
  4. Great pancakes. We've made them lots of times (the first time with fresh ground, and since then with older). Very light and fluffy. We use applesauce instead of oil, and sometimes add vanilla. Yum!
