Classic pancakes made with whole wheat flour and oatmeal. Plus a tip to make the fluffiest pancakes ever.
Happy Friday! I hope your day is as beautiful as ours is here. I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend with no plans, no schedules, no places we have to be.
The past 6 weekends we have either been out of town or hosting company ourselves. It was great, crazy fun, but it’s time to relax.
I’m looking forward to sleeping in, working a bit outside, and doing some baking.
These pancakes are one of my favorite ways to start a lazy weekend. They’re delicious, but still a healthy start to the day.
One trick to making them extra fluffy, whip the egg whites separately and then fold them into the rest of the mixed ingredients.
If you’re in a hurry, you can skip this step and they will be fine. But on a lazy Saturday morning, I recommend taking the extra step to make the fluffiest pancakes ever.

Best pancake recipe I’ve ever made. I was trying to mimic the oatmeal pancakes at my favorite breakfast spot so I added a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a splash of vanilla to the batter. I also whipped up some cinnamon honey butter (half stick softened butter, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, two teaspoons-ish honey whipped till fluffy) to go on top. It was divine…next time I’m doubling the batch.

This was a different recipe for me, and it worked out great. I subbed 1/2 and 1/2 for the milk because I had no milk. I used all organic ingredients and the pancakes had a very nice flavor. The texture was fluffy, not heavy and dense. They looked golden, yellowish compared to the darker brown I am used to. They almost reminded me of a biscuit but in a pancake. I would use this recipe again. I put blueberries in some, choc chips in others, and left some plain. ๏ปฟ

These turned out amazing! I added some cinnamon, and they were a huge hit with the family. Thanks for the recipe!

I never have buttermilk…could I use regular whole milk? Would it make a big difference?
Mallory says
You can actually make a buttermilk substitute by adding a tablespoon of vinegar to a 1 cup measure and then filling the rest with milk. Stir it and let it sit for a few minutes. The acid in the buttermilk helps make extra fluffy pancakes.

Hi, Mallory! Can I make the batter ahead, put it in the fride and just pull it out when I need it?
malika says
no egg work in the batter? 2eggs or 2 egg white?
Mo says
Thank you for the recipe. Can I freeze these once made?
Mallory says
I’ve never done it, but I’m sure you probably could.
