Start your day with the wholesome goodness of Dee's Mostly Whole Wheat Flour Pancakes! Perfectly balanced with the nutty richness of whole wheat flour and the lightness of all-purpose flour, these pancakes are irresistibly fluffy and packed with flavor. A touch of ground cinnamon adds optional warmth, while the natural sweetness of maple syrup or honey ensures each bite is deliciously satisfying. The recipe comes together quickly in under 30 minutes, making it a great option for busy mornings or leisurely weekend brunches. Serve these golden-brown delights with fresh fruit, a drizzle of syrup, or your favorite breakfast toppings for a healthier twist on classic pancakes that everyone will love.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
In a medium bowl, combine the milk, eggs, melted butter, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy; do not overmix.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil if necessary.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to lightly spread the batter into a circular shape if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2 to 3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, syrup, or yogurt.
