Whole wheat pancakes are so underrated and incredibly delicious. They taste earthy, they have a hint of sweetness and when you pair them with dark sweet berries like blackberries, raspberries or dark cherries, this recipe can't miss!

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Combine Mixtures

1. Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Do not overmix.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
2. Pour the Batter: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
3. Cook: Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve

1. Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
