Whole Wheat Blueberry Pancakes

Whole Wheat Pancakes Recipe

These guys are the cool cousins of our regular pancakes. Instead of all-purpose flour, they're made with whole wheat flour to upgrade the flavor profile to something denser and WAY nuttier!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups spooned and leveled whole wheat flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅔ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups milk, room temperature
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup, room temperature
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp melted coconut oil (or melted butter or vegetable oil)
  • Nonstick spray or butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  • Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk and set the bowl aside.
  • In another bowl, mix yogurt, maple syrup, milk, eggs, and a splash of vanilla. Drizzle in the coconut oil and beat until combined. Pour the whole bowl into your dry ingredients (Step 1) and whisk gently. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  • Drop ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until the borders firm up and little bubbles form on the surface (~ 2 minutes). Flip and cook the remaining side until golden brown. Spray the skillet before each new batch.
  • Keep them warm in a low-temp oven set to about 200°F (around 93°C) until ready to serve. Go wild with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Use a measuring cup or a small spoon to portion the batter and achieve perfectly round pancakes.
  2. Melted butter adds richness, but vegetable oil creates crispier edges. You can even use a combination of both.
  3. You can use leftovers to make waffles (adjust the cooking time to the waffle iron), pancake parfaits (layer crumbled pancakes with yogurt, fruit, and granola), or pancake dippers (cut into trips and enjoy with maple syrup or fruit compote).
