Ok, I must apologize for this recipe taking longer then a week to post. Here’s my current favorite pancake recipe. Feel free to spruce it up by tossing berries or small chunks of fruit onto the pancakes after you pour the batter in the pan. My favorites are banana or blueberry. Also, when making them for small children free hand two extra small circles of batter on one side and you have mouse ear pancakes. It’s the only way my daughter will eat them now. 
Whole Wheat Yogurt Pancakes
Adapted (with changes) from “I’m Just Here for More Food” by Alton Brown.
- 2 c Whole Wheat Flour (I like White Whole Wheat. It has a slightly milder flavor.)
- 1 t Baking Powder
- 1/2 t Baking Soda
- 1 t Salt
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 c Milk
- 1 c Yogurt
- 4 T Melted Butter
- 2 T Honey
- Whisk together the 4 dry ingredients
- Whisk together the 5 wet ingredients
- Poor the wet on dry and mix just until combined
- Let sit 5 minutes while preheating a lightly oiled pan
- Cook over medium high to medium heat. Adjust the temperature so the bottom is brown at about the same time as you see bubbles popping on top and leaving a slight hole that doesn’t immediately refill with batter. (This takes a little adjusting.)
- Flip and cook through.
- Eat with yogurt, honey or maples syrup and fresh fruit.
- Freeze leftovers. To defrost either toast or microwave on defrost. In this case I actually like the microwave because the “soggy” bread syndrome actually makes the pancakes nice and soft the second time around.

Yum! They sound great! I’ll have to try these.
Im making these, but I wondered how I could get the old recipe, as those had less calories in them.
Emily, The original recipe comes from the cookbook mentioned at the top of the article. However I think the calorie count will be similar. If you want to cut calories you can use skim milk and yogurt. You might also try substituting applesauce for the butter. However both those will make the pancakes more carby so you might eat more.. and it will impact flavor. My personal preference is to have the extra fat/flavor and eat a little less to compensate. Especially since the fat is filling.
