My hubby’s little brother is in the navy and is stationed in Norfolk Virginia. It has been awesome to be here in North Carolina because it is not too far away and we have been able to spend time with him. He came down this weekend and we had so much fun with him. I decided to face my fear of making pancakes and try this healthier pancake recipe.
I have never been the best at making pancakes. I just can never get them to flip right or be the right thickness, so I usually don’t make them. But after making a few I really got the hang of it! So how did they turn out you ask?
They were amazing!! I was so proud of myself for making them. I have never tasted better pancakes and my boys didn’t even notice that they had whole wheat in them. My boys loved them with butter and syrup, but I had mine with fresh fruit on top. They were so yummy I couldn’t believe it! These would also be amazing with blueberries in them or even chocolate chips.
The awesome thing about these pancakes is that they can be frozen and reheated. Which will be great for my boys before the head out to school. I was thrilled with how they turned out and I will be making them a lot more. They were to die for!

They look like perfect pancakes to me!! These look tasty with some fresh fruit on top!
Love that you can freeze them! That’s awesome. 🙂
These sound so yummy Alyssa and look beautiful!
These are gorgeous! I love making pancakes, but I never post them because i just can’t photograph them! I love that these are skinny!
That’s awesome that your boys didn’t notice the whole grain. I swear kids can sense it from a mile away! My little cousin just looks at a baked good and assumes it has gross “wit” in it (he can’t pronounce wheat yet).
