Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

So the health factor kinda went downhill with these when the husband asked for chocolate chips in his, but sans chocolate these are healthy pancakes that taste great and fill you up. We enjoyed them for dinner. Thanks, Ellie Krieger!

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 12 pancakes

Ingredients

•  cooking spray

• dry ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

• Wet ingredients

• 2  large eggs
• 1  cup low-fat buttermilk
• 3⁄4 cup 1% low-fat milk
• 1  tablespoon raw honey
• 1⁄4 teaspoon vanilla

• Optional add-ins

•  semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Stir together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Stir the wet and dry ingredients together. The pancake batter will be slightly lumpy; that's OK.
2. Heat a griddle over medium heat, and lightly spray it with cooking spray. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to spoon batter onto the warmed griddle.
3. Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to form, then flip and cook on the other side.
4. If you're like the husband and want to add a little something to your pancakes, do it before flipping the pancakes to cook on the second side.
5. As the griddle warms and you get into the pancake routine, your pancakes should improve in shape. (Isn't that how it happens for everyone? No? That's just me? Oh.).
6. Keep your cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you work to cook the rest of the batter.
7. Serve with syrup or honey and enjoy!
