Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes

One night a week my husband comes home from work a little early and takes over dinner and kiddo bath-time so I can work on my blogging responsibilities. Some nights he brings home a pizza or makes something kid-friendly like macaroni and cheese, but most of my work nights are reserved for daddy’s pancakes!

This whole wheat recipe is our family’s favorite homemade pancake batter. It has the hearty, nutty flavor of the whole wheat, but unlike many wheat pancakes I’ve tried, are light and fluffy. Top with fruit or syrup, or even throw in a few chocolate chips for a scrumptious breakfast–or dinner!
