In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
Transfer the pancake mix to an airtight container or a large resealable bag. Label it with instructions for use. Store the mix in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
When you're ready to make pancakes, measure out 1 cup of the pancake mix into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter or neutral oil until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry pancake mix. Gently stir until combined, being careful not to overmix. A few small lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
