Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 4 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Buttermilk (for pancakes)
- 2 large Eggs (for pancakes)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted (for pancakes)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for pancakes)
- Honey or maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Store the dry pancake mix in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.
To make pancakes, measure out 2 cups of the pancake mix and place it into a medium mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the pancake mix and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray if needed.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until the edges look set and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes more.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve pancakes warm with honey, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nuts, as desired.
