QUICK MIX WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES 
2 cups whole-wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups milk
2 tbsp. vegetable oil

Stir together dry ingredients. Add eggs, milk, and oil. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened (batter may be lumpy). Cook on preheated griddle until bubbles form and edges start to dry. Flip and cook until lightly browned. I like to serve with sliced strawberries and bananas, drizzled with honey.

Quick Mix Whole Wheat Pancakes

These didn't turn out very well for me. The pancakes were thick but dense, almost rubbery. They also had a weird after-taste...I use whole wheat flour in a lot of baking, so I know the whole wheat can give it a bitter taste, but this was different. The search for the perfect whole wheat pancake continues...

This was my first time ever making whole wheat cakes and the recipe was GREAT!! I did add a little extra ingredients to give it more flavor like cinnamon and vanila extract in the batter, then I drizzled honey while it was hot and some light whipped cream to top it off yum!! Also to cut your serving size to one I used a third of everything except the egg which was one instead of two

Excellent, simple recipe. I omitted the salt and used buttermilk instead of regular milk. We topped the pancakes with spiced pear preserves (we're on a canning kick here) and a touch of maple syrup. Awesome! I'm not a pancake girl (although my three boys love them) and I ate three!

Thanks for sharing!

Made these for breakfast, added some vanilla extract and they came out wonderful! The texture reminded me of protein pancakes I make, but they were much easier to flip. Lovely! :)

Excellent, but next time I want to try adding some bran or fruit.

This is the best pancake recipe! Just a few common ingredients, no sugar, no buttermilk or multiple types of flour, so easy and flexible! I use Trader Joe's finely ground whole wheat flour. Often substitute soy milk or almond milk for the milk. Can be dressed up with mashed banana or canned pumpkin, vanilla extract, cinnamon, chopped nuts, etc.

I used skim milk, Egg Beaters, olive oil, 1 ripe banana, cinnamon, and a dash of powdered sugar; served with real maple syrup, turkey sausage, an orange, and green tea. Best breakfast ever! Thanks!!!

The best whole wheat pancake ever; I substituted buttermilk in place of the milk, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp almond extract and 1/2 tsp vanilla and used canola oil. I also sprinkled red raspberries in them while in the pan. So easy and so good. Thank you for sharing.

My 9 year neighbor found this recipe & asked if we could make them for a snack. We made one taster cake, then added a tsp of vanilla & a tsp of cinnamon. Served with maple syrup & butter, they were wonderful. We bookmarked so we can make them again.

I made this this morning to work into a food plan I started recently. They were wonderful. The food plan calls for only skim milk, so I used two cups skim milk instead of whole milk, and it worked great. They were much lighter than I expected them to be, given they were whole wheat, and I really enjoyed the heartiness that the whole wheat brought to them. Great recipe--definitely a keeper!

Awesome, simple and quick recipe. I added a hint of flaxseed, vanilla, and maple syrup. Family loves it!! Never buying store bought again!

Definitely use coconut oil instead of any other oil for baking !! Do it vegan applesauce 4 eggs any milk 4 "milk" I use oat, almond, coconut! You can basically do whatever you want you can put bananas in or slice them on top you can do walnuts and bananas or with chocolate chips. Have fun experiment! Note that whole-wheat does come out more dense!

Just gave these a try and worked out pretty good. I agree with another poster that they did have a bit of an after taste. However my 4 year old picky eater ate two and declared them delicious. Definitely needed to be a bit sweeter though so next batch I'm going to try adding banana and vanilla like many other commenters suggested.
