I use this recipe almost every weekend! It is so versatile that I can make different kinds with whatever I have on hand. I've used ripe bananas, blueberries, blackberries, and even used just cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves/vanilla when I didn't have any fruit. You can sub some or all while flour if you are running low or have picky eaters. I even use vanilla soy milk to add that hint of vanilla and sweetness. I use Splenda instead of packet sweeteners and find that 1/4c of Splenda does the trick. These are so good you can eat them without any syrup! I usually make a double batch and put the extras in the fridge or freezer. Just pop in micro or toaster and you are good to go! You don't even have to worry about overly juicy fruit, like if you use frozen, because I usually end up using more than the cup of milk and the juice makes up the difference. I absolutely love this recipe and it is SO easy to mix, match, change, add and still I have yet to have a bad batch! I even keep them warm in the oven while cooking other items and they still turn out great! Top with some sugar free syrup and it is the best "healthy" breakfast that the kids won't even notice there's no added sugar!

I've finally found a great, great whole wheat pancake recipe! Thanks! You could really play with this one and get the same great results...different kinds of flours, fruits, etc. They weren't heavy like most whole wheat recipes I've tried. YUM!

Great! I used mostly wheat but a little white flour, and added a little cinnamon and vanilla. I'll definitely make them again!

One of the best whole wheat pancake recipes ever! Because I used 1/2c flour & 3/4c whole wheat, I added 1/3c ground flaxseed. Also, as another reader suggested, I added cinnamon and vanilla. The extra 2Tbs milk made the batter perfect for us. I didn't have blueberries on hand, but it was still delish!

This is the best whole wheat pancake recipe I've made. The pancakes turn out so fluffy. They make great waffles as well! I've made them without the blueberries and put vanilla peach syrup on them and they are heavenly!

This is one of the healthiest recipes to date! Granted that a little more milk is better but amazing nonetheless!

These were really good. Next time I will add the 2Tbl sugar and may be some vanilla and cinnamon... I will double the recipe, too, because there weren't enough for my 2 and 4 year olds AND my husband and I... I nibbled everyone elses but had to find something else to eat! I used frozen blueberries because that's all we had... of course they turned the batter an unappetizing blue, but once cooked they looked just like any other pancake. I'm looking forward to 'playing' with this recipe more in the future.

Nothing says Saturday mornings like getting fresh blueberries from the farmer's market and making pancakes. The only change I made was using real sugar, rather than the sweetener. My husband and I make these frequently...thanks for the great recipe! We love it!!

I love whole wheat pancakes, but these were far too dense and flat.

Very good pancake recipe. Like others, I substituted 3 Tbsp. brown sugar for the artificial sweetener. The kids loved. Mine made about 16 and kids each ate 2 (3 yo and 5 yo). Will try bananas another time. I added vanilla, wheat germ, and flax seed. Love it that it's healthy and tasty.

I made it exactly as written (with the addition of blueberries) and it was a bit dry and dense for us. Next time I will add more milk, and sugar.

This was excellent! I used 2 TBSP brown sugar as recommended, and it was perfect. I also found that a little bit over 1 cup was the right consistency for fluffy pancakes - my first batch was a little runny. The flavor was very nice - better than plain! I love being able to incorporate whole wheat flour into recipes! It was great with and without blueberries. I might try with some cinnamon next time.

Really yummy! These were light and fluffy and loved by all. I did double the recipe because we have a big family. I also added a cinnamon blend, vanilla and did need to add some additional milk as others suggested. Its a keeper.

These were the best whole wheat pancakes I have had in a while. Even my 2 1/2 year old like them! I took the hints of others with adding vanilla and a litle cinnamon! Will make again soon!!

I scaled down the recipe for just myself (1 serving), so that might have affected these, and I omitted the blueberries (which, I know, sounds really dumb, but I wasn't in the mood for pancake mix-ins.) The batter yielded rather bland, dull pancakes. They needed something else in them (I really should have added those berries.) Maybe I'll try this recipe again how it's supposed to made because of the great reviews, but probably not. However, the pancakes did rise very well. They were light and fluffy. Too bad they didn't taste better.

Very tasty and came out perfectly when using 1 and 1/3 c milk! I did as others said and doubled the berries. Added 1/2 t vanilla and a shake of cinnamon. With sugar free syrup and turkey sausage, this is a great healthy breakfast! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

YES! No need for white flour! They come out absolutely perfect (just needed to add a bit more milk to loosen up the batter)and were eaten straight up with no syrup! I did use 1 Tbsp. regular sugar instead of the artificial sweetener; we prefer the real stuff. Thanks for the recipe!
