The recipe is simple and uses basic kitchen staples. Let's talk of a handful of the ingredients:
  • Whole Wheat Flour- Since these pancakes are made with whole wheat flour, they are high in fiber, and leave you feeling full and satisfied for a long time!
  • Baking Powder and Baking Soda- The combination of the baking powder and the baking soda helps the pancakes rise and makes them fluffy.
  • Honey- These are naturally sweetened with honey instead of refined sugar. Feel free to substitute the honey with maple syrup.
  • Buttermilk- The buttermilk in the recipe not only adds a flavor to the pancakes but also helps activate the baking soda and/or baking powder in the batter, making them thick and fluffy.

These pancakes taste great with a variety of add-ins. You can add top them up with chocolate chips, a handful of walnuts or pecans, sliced bananas, or even some powdered sugar. I love them with some fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup. However, you serve them I’m pretty confident that you are going to love them!
