## How to Make 100% Whole Wheat Harvest Pancakes
If you're looking for a delicious and hearty breakfast that's also good for you, look no further than these 100% whole wheat harvest pancakes. Made with whole wheat flour, these pancakes are packed with fiber and nutrients to keep you feeling full and satisfied all morning long.
_Here is what you'll need:_
**Ingredients:**
- 1 and 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 and 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
**Instructions:**
1. **In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.**
2. **In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.**
3. **Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.** Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
4. **Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.**
5. **Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.** Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
6. **Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.**
Remember, to make pancakes consistently perfectly every time, let the batter sit for a few minutes after mixing—the batter will thicken, causing you to use less when pouring it on the griddle, preventing spreading that results in thin and wide pancakes.
**Additional tips:_**
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Stir the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. A few small lumps are perfectly fine, they’ll make the pancakes fluffier!
