How to Make Hearty Honey Whole Wheat Pancakes

  1. Whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until light and frothy.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups buttermilk, 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup honey to the eggs. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Let the batter rest for 10-20 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, resulting in fluffier pancakes.
  6. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
