1 piece (medium) of Whole wheat pancake (60 g) has 126 calories. That works out to 210 calories per 100 g. It contains 21.9 g of carbs, 4.3 g of protein, 2.3 g of fat and 2.7 g of fiber. Its 0.4 mg of Manganese covers 18% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 55 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
A whole wheat pancake is a small, griddle-cooked pancake made with whole wheat flour, often mixed into a batter with egg and milk. The whole-grain flour gives it a speckled appearance and a heartier character than pancakes made with refined flour; recipes and toppings vary from place to place.
Expect a mild, nutty grain flavour, a tender middle and lightly browned edges. It is commonly served for breakfast, either in a stack or alongside fruit, yoghurt, honey or syrup. Whole wheat pancakes provide more fibre than versions made solely with white flour, making them a filling breakfast choice. For a less sweet plate, top yours with fresh berries and plain yoghurt instead of a generous pour of syrup.

Medium
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.

Mix whole wheat flour with eggs, milk, baking powder, and a little oil until just combined, then cook spoonfuls of batter on a lightly greased, preheated skillet. Flip each pancake when bubbles appear and the edges begin to look set.
For fluffy whole wheat pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter and use fresh baking powder. Let the batter stand briefly so the bran can absorb some liquid; if it becomes too thick, loosen it with a splash of milk.
Yes, you can replace all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour in pancakes. Whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid and gives the pancakes a heartier texture, so add a little extra milk if the batter seems too thick to pour.
Whole wheat pancakes can taste bitter when the flour is old or has been stored warm, because the natural oils in whole grains can turn rancid. Store whole wheat flour in an airtight container in a cool place, or refrigerate it for longer storage.
You can mix whole wheat pancake batter the night before, but pancakes may be less fluffy because the baking powder loses some lift while the batter sits. For a better texture, refrigerate the wet and dry ingredients separately and combine them before cooking.
Whole wheat pancakes pair well with berries, sliced banana, yogurt, nut butter, or maple syrup. Their slightly nutty flavor also works with savory toppings such as eggs and avocado, so they do not have to be served as a sweet breakfast.
Yes, whole wheat pancakes freeze well. Cool them completely, separate them with parchment so they do not stick together, and store them in a sealed freezer bag. Reheat straight from frozen in a toaster, skillet, or microwave.
Use a preheated nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned griddle and lightly grease the surface before cooking whole wheat pancakes. Wait until bubbles form and the edges look set before flipping; turning them too soon can make them tear and stick.
Yes, whole wheat pancakes work without buttermilk; ordinary milk is fine. If you want buttermilk’s tang and tenderness, stir a little lemon juice or vinegar into milk and let it stand briefly before adding it to the batter.
Yes, whole wheat pancakes are convenient for meal prep because cooked pancakes can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated individually. Let them cool before packing, and keep toppings such as fruit or syrup separate until serving to avoid sogginess.
