Whole Wheat Pancakes (For 2!)

I'm back!

I've been away from the blog for a while because life, well, was life, and things more important took priority over my recipes. But now that things have settled back to normal I'm excited to start mixing things up again.

To start things off I found this delicious pancake recipe on Pinterest. I made them Fourth of July morning (since the Hubs was actually home to eat breakfast with me!) and we gobbled them up before the butter could melt.

I'm trying to cut processed foods out of my cooking as much as possible and I've fallen back in love with anything whole wheat (I've already made whole wheat chocolate chip cookies and banana bread!). So naturally when I came across whole wheat pancakes I was in! Here's the recipe from Pinch of Yum.

Whole Wheat Pancakes

Ingredients:
1 egg
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (I didn't have any on hand so I substituted 1 teaspoon baking soda)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water

Cooking Directions:
1. Whisk together egg and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the oil, vanilla and buttermilk and whisk for another 15 seconds until combined.

2. Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir just until combined. Add in the water until your batter is slightly runny.

3. Depending on the size you want your pancakes to be, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto a hot griddle/pan over medium to low heat. Let sit until the edges are firm to the touch, then flip until each side is a nice golden brown.

4. Remove from pan, top with butter (and maybe a little maple syrup) and enjoy!
