For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of canola oil. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 3 cups of milk. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients for a warm, spiced flavor. To make these pancakes even healthier, consider adding flaxseed or chia seeds to the batter.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepSpread wheat germ evenly over a baking sheet. (1 minute)
03
StepBake in the preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer the toasted wheat germ to a large mixing bowl. (10 minutes)
04
StepIn the bowl with the wheat germ, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. (2 minutes)
05
StepIn a separate bowl, beat together the buttermilk, lightly beaten eggs, and canola oil until smooth. (2 minutes)
06
StepPour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. (3 minutes)
07
StepHeat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Coat with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
08
StepPour 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear dry, about 2 minutes per side. (4 minutes)
09
StepFlip the pancakes and continue to cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes more. (5 minutes)
10
StepRepeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven or under a clean kitchen towel. (10 minutes)
11
StepServe immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, honey, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
