Fluffy Whole Grain Pancakes

These whole wheat pancakes hit different—fluffy, hearty, and packed with flavor.


Prep Time: 10 min | Cook Time: 15 min


Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar or maple syrup

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to make "buttermilk."

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, flaxseed, cinnamon, and coconut sugar.

  3. Slowly add the almond milk mixture, vanilla extract, and oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil if needed.

  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. Serve warm with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

Notes:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a toaster or on a skillet for crispness.
