Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

In the last few months I’ve had a major craving for pancakes. Thick fluffy pancakes. The problem was, we didn’t have any maple syrup. Not every grocery store here carries syrup and somehow I would always forget to grab a bottle when I was at a store that did. When I finally remembered to pick some up, the first thing on my agenda was a big batch of pancakes.

Having a fresh bag of whole wheat flour I decided to go the whole wheat pancake route. Wheat pancakes can be really dense but I was very pleasantly surprised with how light and fluffy these pancakes were! Plus I just love the flavor the wheat gives them.

I also want to mention that I made the full batch, just so I could freeze some for later. The frozen pancakes went right from the freezer to a preheated oven and were just as good as fresh after about 10-15 minutes. Perfect, quick, weekday breakfast!

 

 

PS. Will you just look at the size of these giant grapes?!?!
