Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup whole-wheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 3/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Vegetable oil cooking spray
Pure maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Raspberries, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°F. Whisk together the flours, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

    Step 2

    Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir together the melted butter, buttermilk, and eggs in a medium bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture until just combined (the batter will be slightly lumpy).

    Step 3

    Generously coat the griddle with cooking spray. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until the surface is bubbling and the edges are slightly dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the pancakes; cook until the undersides are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet, and keep warm in the oven. Divide the pancakes among 4 plates. Serve with syrup and berries, if desired.
