How to make Whole Wheat Pancakes:
Blend: Add wheat flour and milk to a blender and blend on high for 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients then blend again until smooth.
Cook on a hot greased griddle for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. (The batter will be thin, but they will puff up and be perfectly light and tender!). Do not pat pancakes down with a spatula while cooking.
Serve: Enjoy these fluffy whole wheat pancakes with homemade pancake syrup and breakfast potatoes!
Make Ahead, Freezing, and Reheating Instructions:
To Make Ahead: Place cooled whole grain pancakes in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To Freeze: Allow pancakes to cool completely then place them in a single layer on a sheet pan. Flash freeze them for 30 minutes, then once they are partially frozen (now they wont stick together), place in a freezer safe bag and freezer for 2-3 months.
To Reheat: rewarm for a few seconds in the microwave, or reheat in toaster oven or air fryer.
Recipe Variations:
- Vegan Wheat Pancakes: Use almond milk, 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed for the eggs, and substitute maple syrup or brown rice syrup for the honey.
- Gluten Free Wheat Pancakes: Substitute almond flour, brown rice flour, or oat flour.
- Dairy Free: Use almond milk or oat milk.

I originally shared this recipe March 2016. Updated January 2020 and January 2024.
Added some bananas in the mix , it was delishhhh . Thank you !
Delicious whole wheat pancake recipe I must say! I love when I can make mixes in my Vitamix. My kids gobbled them up and my 8 year old ate 5 big ones! Almost turned out like a crepe like pancake. I love that I’m giving my kids whole wheat and no refined sugar plus protein with all the eggs. Also, I can make this the evening before and keep the batter in the fridge and fry it up in my cast iron skillet the next morning. Thank you!
So far the best whole wheat pancake I have tried- everyone in my family agrees
Thanks
Lightest, fluffiest pancakes ever!!
Can I use all purpose flour? I don’t have wheat or white flour. Wait… is all purpose flour the same as white flour?
Yes, you could use white all-purpose flour, but in that case I would suggest a regular pancake recipe (not whole wheat). If you did decide to use this recipe you don’t need to blend the white flour for so long with the milk in the first step.
They turned out amazing! Even my husband couldn’t tell they were whole wheat.
Tried this Recipe out today and have to say the pancakes turned out to be most amazing and so tasty !!
Thank you ?
I used coconut oil instead of regular oil and they were awesome! Both my kids loved them!
I also had a New Years’ resolution for 2018 to try and eat healthier and was so happy to find your recipe since I love my pancakes! These are WONDERFUL! Super easy to make and came out light and fluffy, as you described. I’ve made them a couple of times now and I’ve been adding a tablespoon of flax seed meal to each batch for an extra health benefit. These also heat up very well in the microwave which I appreciate on rushed mornings. Thank you for an awesome pancake recipe! This one is a winner on all counts!
Thanks Teresa! I love the idea of adding flax seed! So happy you’ve been enjoying this recipe. <3
Thank you soo much Lauren for sharing the recipe. Finally found a whole wheat recipe that even my husband , who is a picky eater; doesnt mind ! <3

Thanks for sharing Sam! I’m so happy your family enjoyed them 🙂
