We love pancakes around our house. Last night we had breakfast for dinner as I remade this classic recipe that’s been on the site since 2011. What, what.

Whole Wheat Pancakes made with flaxseed and whole wheat flour and boast of fiber, protein and healthy fats. 

It was buried so I needed to pull it out of the archives and give it some new life. This was a recipe I’d make after running with Eric, way before we had kids.

Oh I miss those sweet running and track days for sure. Here’s a little expert from the original post for the memories… 

“Got in a good track workout this morning. Alarm clock went off at 5:15, and I didn’t really think I was going to be running today. I’m kinda sore from the weekend miles, so I was planning to wimp out and do some yoga “for stretching” while Eric ran the track. Well, after the warm up my legs loosened up, and I was able to finish the workout with him. And then he asked for pancakes”…

While I do have a ton of gluten free pancakes recipes on my site but this one here is a classic wholesome recipe, whole wheat flour is nutritious especially for kids so this recipe made with 100% whole wheat flour and flax is a go to.

They couldn’t be easier to make and fluff up perfectly in the pan. 

Tips for baking with whole wheat flour

  • If you want soft and fluffy pancakes, make sure you’re using a fresh whole wheat flour that’s soft. My favorite is 100% white whole wheat flour. 
  • Go half and half. If you want to ease your way into eating whole wheat flour, you can easily use 1/2 whole wheat flour and 1/2 all purpose flour.
  • Feel free to mix in other whole grains into this recipe.. it’s easily adaptable. 

I hope these Whole Wheat Pancakes bring some joy into your life like they do for us!
