Whole Wheat Pancakes {Dairy and Soy free}

Who said pancakes are only for breakfast?  Not my family!  

Pancakes are a mainstay quick meal at our house.  Often we make them for Sunday morning breakfast and serve with bacon and fresh fruit.  For my husband, they are a super quick weeknight meal when he is in charge of dinner.  My girls LOVE pancakes for dinner!

I like that this recipe uses whole wheat flour.  I make my own non-dairy "buttermilk" by combining apple cider vinegar with either plain almond milk or full-fat coconut milk.  Both taste great!  (Just avoid using the vanilla flavored almond milk.)






1 cup whole wheat flour
1 TBS brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup buttermilk (see below)
2 TBS sunflower oil


***Non-dairy Buttermilk-  Put 1 TBS of apple cider vinegar into a glass measuring cup.  Add in plain almond milk or full fat coconut milk until reaching the 1 cup measurement mark.  Let sit for 5 minutes.

Mix together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl or Kitchen Aid stand mixer.  Combine egg, buttermilk, and oil in a separate bowl.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.  Add wet mixture to dry mixture all at once.  Stir until just moistened, batter may be lumpy.  Thin with additional non-dairy milk if needed.

Heat griddle to medium heat.  Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto hot griddle.  Cook for about 2 minutes.  Flip pancakes when bubbles begin to surface and the edges are dry.  Cook on second side for an additional 2 minutes or until done.

Serve warm with real maple syrup, crock-pot apple butter, of homemade strawberry jam (recipes to come!)

Recipe makes about 8-10 pancakes.  I ALWAYS double to the recipe!!!!!




Freezer tip-  Freeze extra pancakes between layers of wax paper in a ziploc freezer bag.  Pop in toaster for a quick breakfast during the work week.
