How It's S'posed to Be
I have quite a few pancake recipes on this site. Sweet Potato Pancakes are warm and cozy, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg. I serve them with cinnamon syrup which is also perfect on Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pancakes.
If you are looking for a super light and fluffy pancake recipe, these Lemon Poppy Seed Ricotta Pancakes are EHHHVERYTHING. Whipped egg whites are folded in like meringue. It's a whole experience. Then there are Morning Glory and Zucchini Bread Pancakes that taste like their muffin counterparts, but it's acceptable to eat a stack doused in syrup.
These Oat Nut Whole Wheat Pancakes were one of the earliest breakfast recipes I wrote for this site, and they are really a lesson in how pancakes are supposed to be.
To make buttermilk in a pinch, mix together 1 tablespoon white vinegar + 1 cup LESS 1 tablespoon milk. Let stand for 10 minutes.

This Whole Wheat Pancake recipe yields earthy, nutty, fluffy pancakes that are heart-healthy and full of whole grains. Whether you load these pancakes up with blueberries or enjoy them as-is, this recipe will be a pancake breakfast staple.

Instructions

- In a smaller bowl beat the egg and then whisk in the oil. Stir it into the dry mixture and then slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring until just combined.
- Set the batter aside for about 10 minutes to let it rise. While the batter rests, heat the pancake griddle or skillet.
- If you are adding blueberries, gently fold them into the batter.
