These whole wheat pancakes have an extra boost of fiber and protein, but are surprisingly fluffy. However, they do have a heartier flavor than your average short stack.

What an outstanding website! Brilliant resource for healthy cooking. Wheat is an important part of my husband’s diet as he is recovering from diarrhoea. Thanks for sharing!
Love the extra boost of fiber and protein in these pancakes! These are a great way to start the day!
These look delicious, maybe I can find time to whip some up this weekend! I’m loving the addition of flax/ wheat germ, and the added fiber it adds!
I’m loving all the fiber and protein in these pancakes! They’d definitely keep me full until lunch!
These are perfect for weekend brunch! Maybe I can make a gluten free version!
These look awesome. I’ve never seen soy flour used before and I’ve never actually cooked with it at all…I’ll have to check that out! I’ll have to try these with the egg-free option, can’t wait till the weekend!
