Tasty, Cheap and Healthy – can it be true?
These are my new favorite homemade pancakes. Cheap and easy – made at home from scratch. So tasty – and much better than a box mix, plus healthy for you as they are made with whole wheat flour – but your family will never know the difference!
I have been using box pancakes mixes for years. That’s how I grew up eating pancakes and that just seemed to be the way to go. The idea of making pancakes from scratch just seemed like to much work for Sunday brunch. As it is I am brewing the coffee, poaching eggs, grilling the sausage…..well I just didn’t think I had time to make pancakes from scratch and still make it to church on time!
Well this weekend I go to the pantry – ugh - I am out of my pancake mix! Darn- toast and eggs? No – I really wanted pancakes. I had collected a few recipes over the years, but never tried them. This one looked good as it is made with whole wheat and is so easy and super delicious – I may never go back to the box!
Even better – these were the extras I had to pop in the freezer as a quick fix for during the week!
Yummy Whole Wheat Pancakes
1 Cup Whole Wheat flour
1 Cup regular flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbs. sugar
2 Cups Milk
2 Eggs
In a large bowl combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and eggs. Gently stir egg mixture into bowl with flour until the lumps are gone. Use non-stick spray to coat pan and cook pancakes over medium high heat.
Thank you to my friend Dina DeMeo for this great recipe!

Just stopping by from SITS – the pancakes look yummy!
Looks Great, Wendy! Have you tried trimming back on the non-whole wheat flour in the recipe? What about healthy sugar subs? Nice post – looking forward to your reply thoughts!
Wow, those do look yummy and the whole wheat thing is such a bonus! You know I even have all those ingredients on hand! Yippy pancakes for breakfast tomorrow! I’m tired of cold cereal anyway.

P.S. Your comment was right before mine on SITS today.
Hey Anna – thanks for the message! Yes, they are easy and yummy! Let me know how you like them! Isn’t SITS great – I do that too – click on the blog that commented before me! I will be sure to check out your blog!
Oh my goodness! Those look awesome!!! Makes me hungry. Seriously. SO…I see you became a B2B:) Yay:) Did you sign up for Blogging or Business?
btw…you came by my blog this week (in case I sound odd writing you like we are old friends)
Hi Mariah – yes I think I first found your blog from SITS! I became a blogger on B2B – what a great idea! I love the blogging world. Your comment made me laugh!! You have a great blog – how long have you been doing it?
Wendy
yummy! I only make them homemade as well and always freeze a double or triple batch. You know my boys and they actually can eat the entire double batch plus bacon on a saturday monring. So I have to triple to freeze but that is fine. I have another recipe that i can give you that has wheat germ in it that makes them even healthier and heartier— they are more filling so they don’t eat as many. Warren loves them, especially with blueberries in them. I will dig it out and email you or post it the next time we make them. BTW love the pic of the pancake stack! I am a huge food pic poster!
Thanks Sara – if you have any photo tips I’ll take them! I crave to be a good phototograhper…..
Yes, would love to get the recipe w/ the wheat germ – the only thing I use that in is smoothies!
