Easy Buttermilk Pancakes.  A secret ingredient you’ll never guess.  They’re light, fluffy, and even half whole grain!  Nutritious and delicious!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup seltzer water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Using a fork, beat eggs, buttermilk, seltzer water, vanilla and 1 1/2 Tbsp melted butter in a medium bowl to incorporate eggs.
  2. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and whisk to combine (batter will be slightly lumpy).
  3. Heat a large griddle or nonstick skillet over medium; spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Scoop – Working in batches, scoop 1/2-cupfuls of batter onto griddle; cook until bubbles form on the surface and pop and the underside is golden brown, 2 1/2–3 minutes.  Flip and continue to cook until golden brown on the bottom, 2–2 1/2 minutes more. 
  5. Transfer pancakes to plates or a platter.

Notes

*You can double this recipe easily – you’ll have the extra buttermilk and seltzer water, so why not? And they freeze beautifully!

*Serve with nut butter and a homemade chia jam if you please.

*And if you want to make smaller pancakes, use a 1/4 cup to measure the batter out.  Side note – 1/4 cup batter makes a 15g carbohydrate serving.  I measured oodles of these when I worked with patients with Type 1 diabetes and helped them learn to carb count.  1/2 cup = ~30g of carbs.  Either way, the batter will make 8 larger pancakes, 16 smaller. You do you.
