My husband and I make “breakfast for dinner” probably once a week in our house right now. We’re not big into pancakes in the morning, but we sure do love a pancake with a side of soft scrambled eggs for dinner! When it comes to pancakes, I really love combining both wheat flour and white flour to make them a bit heartier but still feel classic. After a few weeks of working on this recipe, I am finally bringing it to my website! If you love pancakes that are on the healthier side but are still similar to the fluffy pancakes you grew up on, then you’ll love these Fluffy Wheat Pancakes.
Nutritional benefits of these Fluffy Wheat Pancakes
- I’m a big believer in high-quality flour. I use Sunrise Flour Mill for all my baking because it’s non-GMO, unbleached, properly grown, properly milled, and organic. Wheat products in America are highly sprayed with Glyphosate which is shown to wreak havoc on our gut microbiome. Properly grown and prepped wheat products are easier to digest and are actually nutrient-dense.
- For the healthiest dairy products (butter and milk for this recipe), I always recommend buying grass-fed. Better yet, if you can support a local farm that has grass-fed cows and dairy products, then do that!
- Pure maple syrup is the sap from maple trees and is my personal favorite natural sweetener! It is rich in manganese, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and copper. These minerals help with cell formation, maintaining healthy red blood cells, immune support, and more. Keep in mind it is very different from pancake syrup that’s maple-flavored.
- Eggs are a complete source of protein and are one of the richest sources of choline. They also have vitamin D3, folate, etc. Keep in mind, the egg whites are full of protein, while the egg yolks are where all the nutrients are.
Ingredients for Fluffy Wheat Pancakes
Whole wheat flour – I love Sunrise Flour Mill
White flour – I love Sunrise Flour Mill
Baking powder
Eggs
Milk – I always recommend grass-fed milk.
Butter – this adds the best flavor and moistness to the pancakes! I find adding it to the batter makes me not even want to add any to the cooked pancakes.
Maple syrup – for a little sweetness and deep flavor.
Vanilla extract
Salt


How to make Fluffy Wheat Pancakes with both wheat flour and white flour
- If using a cast iron skillet to make the pancakes, start preheating it on low-medium to get it started since it takes a few extra minutes compared to other pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Add the eggs, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla and gently whisk until half incorporated.
- Then add the melted butter and gently whisk again until there’s no more flour showing, but there are still some small lumps in the batter.
- Turn the skillet (or other pan you are using) to medium heat. Once hot, add 1/4-1/3 cup of pancake batter and cook for a minute until bubbly, then flip to cook another minute. 1/4 cup of batter makes 7 small-medium pancakes while 1/3 cup of batter makes 6 medium-large pancakes. Repeat with remaining pancake batter.
- Serve as desired and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Verse of the Day: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.” – Luke 15:4-7
