There is nothing quite like waking up to the smell of fresh pancakes on a weekend morning. These are my go to recipe when I want something that feels like a special treat but still keeps things wholesome and nourishing for my family.

My secret is to mix the batter just until the dry bits disappear. If you overwork the batter, the pancakes can become a little tough instead of light and airy. Give them a try and I am sure they will become a regular guest at your breakfast table.

🧺 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter.
3
Mix everything together until just combined. It is okay if the batter still has a few small lumps.
4
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium high heat.
5
Pour about a quarter cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
6
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
7
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup.

💡 Tips

Leftover pancakes store well in the fridge for up to three days or you can freeze them between sheets of parchment paper for quick reheating in the toaster. I love topping mine with Greek yogurt and fresh berries for a little extra protein.
