ChefTony Recipe ⤏ Whole Wheat Pancakes from Scratch

If you have whole wheat pancakes instead of white flour ones, are you allowed an extra piece of bacon? Probably. Or just start your morning off hearty and healthy with these easy whole wheat pancakes.

Ingredients

• ½ cup wheat germ
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• cooking spray

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Spread wheat germ over a baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly, then transfer wheat germ to a large bowl.
4. Stir flour, baking soda, and salt into wheat germ. Beat buttermilk, eggs, and oil in another bowl until smooth; pour egg mixture into flour mixture and stir until batter is just blended.
5. Heat griddle over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
