1 piece (medium) of Whole wheat pancake (70 g) has 137 calories. That works out to 195 calories per 100 g. It contains 22.4 g of carbs, 4.6 g of protein, 3.2 g of fat and 2.9 g of fiber. Its 0.5 mg of Manganese covers 21% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 50 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Whole wheat pancake is the name used here for a thin, crepe-style pancake made with whole wheat flour. Crepes have French roots, while pancakes and crepes are enjoyed in many forms around the world. The whole wheat flour gives these pancakes a deeper colour, a softly porous texture and a mild, nutty, toasted-grain flavour.
Serve them warm for breakfast, folded or rolled around savoury fillings such as eggs, cheese or vegetables, or with fruit for a sweeter plate. They are more filling and provide more fibre than versions made with refined flour, while still being tender enough to pair with both sweet and savoury toppings. For a lighter meal, use a vegetable filling and go easy on rich sauces or spreads.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Make whole wheat pancakes by whisking whole wheat flour with eggs, milk, baking powder, and a little salt until just combined. Cook small portions on a lightly greased, preheated pan, flipping when bubbles appear and the edges begin to look set.
Whole wheat pancakes are often denser because bran makes the batter heavier and absorbs liquid. For a lighter texture, avoid overmixing and use a raising agent such as baking powder; mixing until smooth can make them tough.
Yes, resting whole wheat pancake batter for about 10 minutes gives the bran time to absorb moisture. The batter may thicken as it sits, so stir in a little milk if it becomes too stiff to pour.
Yes, you can make whole wheat pancakes without eggs by using a mashed banana or a prepared egg substitute to help bind the batter. The pancakes may be softer and more delicate, so turn them carefully once the first side is set.
Whole wheat pancakes pair well with fresh berries, sliced banana, yogurt, or nut butter. For a less sweet breakfast, serve them with eggs or savory toppings instead of syrup; the mild, nutty flavor works with both.
Yes, whole wheat pancakes work with savory fillings such as sautéed mushrooms, spinach, cheese, or scrambled eggs. Keep the batter unsweetened, then fold or roll the cooked pancakes around the filling while they are still warm.
Use a preheated nonstick pan and coat it lightly with oil or butter before cooking whole wheat pancakes. Wait until the edges look set before flipping; trying to turn them too early can make them tear and stick.
Yes, cooked whole wheat pancakes freeze well. Cool them completely, separate each pancake with parchment paper, and seal them in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat from frozen in a toaster or warm them in a pan until heated through.
Cooked whole wheat pancakes keep for about 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Let them cool before storing, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat so the remaining pancakes retain their texture.
Whole wheat pancakes can fit a weight-loss meal because their fiber may help you feel full. Keep portions moderate and choose toppings such as fruit or plain yogurt; generous syrup, sweet spreads, and rich additions can make the meal less filling for its size.
