Best Whole Wheat Pancakes

Oh pancakes. Could you ever go wrong with freaking pancakes?! I would usually make a paleo pancake but to be frank, I just haven’t created a recipe where I felt it was absolutely perfect.

Plus, the past few months I have had a different approach when it came to my diet. I had a pretty strict diet where it was paleo based and I would not have anything else besides what would fit into the paleo diet. It is still how I eat for majority of the day but I have a more balanced approach now. I am not going to beat myself up if I have a whole wheat slice of bread or I ate a small piece of birthday cake at a party.

I just got tired of overthinking about food. I naturally go towards eating natural, clean foods, however if I get a craving for something I usually satisfy it. In this case it was pancakes. That is where the goal of creating the best whole wheat pancakes came to exist.

I was not disappointed. I hope you enjoy this quick, simple, and balanced recipe 🙂 Let me know how you like them!

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour
4.5 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
2 cups milk
2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions

Mix all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Add wet ingredients to the mixing bowl, mix well.
Heat a skillet on medium heat. Spray oil, or use butter (as I did) to coat and pour about 1/4 to 1/2 of pancake batter.
When you begin to see bubbles and edges begin to set, flip the pancake.
Repeat with rest of batter.
Top with your favorite topping like fresh fruit, coconut flakes, and of course 100% pure maple syrup!
