Whole Wheat Pancakes

Is there anything better than fluffy pancakes to start off your morning? I’m going to go ahead and say, “NOPE!”

Pancakes always remind me of my dad – THE pancake master.

His secret? Bisquick.

Okay, so not much of a secret. But it was ALWAYS Bisquick in our house. It wasn’t up until recently after all of these years, he made pancakes from scratch and said they were “very good” and he would definitely make them again.

This just makes me chuckle because I’ve been trying to tell him for years that making homemade pancakes is not difficult in the slightest, and that he likely already had everything in the cupboard (flour, baking powder, salt, et.c) to make pancakes without using a box mix.

Old habits die hard, I guess!

But what I like about making pancakes at home is using ingredients like a whole grain flour to make them a bit healthier than your average processed mix.

Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour

We’re partnering with Bob’s Red Mill for these fluffy whole wheat pancakes – they’re always my go-to for flours. Whether I’m baking cakes, cookies, or using it for pancakes and waffles. You just can’t beat their quality!

Not to mention Bob is a super cool guy (yes, he’s real!)… but, I digress.

Their whole wheat flour is 100% stone ground from dark northern hard red wheat, with all of the nutritious bran and germ still intact.

What does Stone Ground Mean?

Via Bob’s Red Mill Website:

Our stone-ground flours and meals are made the old fashioned way, on our slow-turning quartz-stone mills. This time honored technique maintains cool temperatures, which preserves the natural flavor and healthy nutrition of the grains.

Is Whole Wheat Flour Healthy?

Yes! Bob’s Red Mill Whole Wheat Flour has not been refined, and all of its nutritious bran and germ is still in tact. It’s also an excellent source of dietary fiber and protein!

It’s the perfect flour to use for this whole grain pancake recipe.

And They’re Great for Meal Prep

To freeze: put pancakes on wire rack and allow them to cool before placing in an airtight container.

To reheat: I like to use the toaster oven.
