Hi friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been a while since I shared a pancake recipe and this is one I’m really excited to share. For a while now we’ve been using Kodiak Cakes pancake mix <\/a>and it’s been great. My kids like it. I can get it at Costco for a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, however, our Costco was out of the mix so I challenged myself to create a simple, homemade pancake recipe that all my kids would eat. Easier said than done of course, but I finally nailed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I keep whole wheat pancakes from being too dense?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use white whole wheat flour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This recipe uses white whole wheat flour, as do most of my muffins and bars<\/a>. I prefer it to whole wheat flour because it’s just a bit less dense and hearty. It bakes very similar to all-purpose flour but with the benefit of being whole grain. You can learn more about whole grains here<\/a>, but they’re such an important part of our diet and are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fiber in white whole wheat flour will help these pancakes be more filling and can help avoid blood sugar spikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy Whole Wheat Pancake Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pancakes are pretty simple by nature but it’s all about getting the right combination of the simple ingredients so you end up with something that tastes good and that you also feel good about serving. You probably have all the ingredients you need on hand already:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
