Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat pancake and muffin mix
  • 1 cup water
  • Cooking spray if needed

Instructions

  1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat (about 375 degrees). (Before heating spray the skillet with a cooking spray if desired.)
  2. In a mixing bowl or large glass measuring cup, stir together the pancake mix and water. (You can double or triple this recipe if desired)
  3. Pour about 1/4 cup pancake batter onto a hot griddle or skillet.
  4. Cook until pancake is bubbly on top and dry around the edges. Turn and cook the other side until golden brown.

Notes

Mix the ingredients in a large measuring cup for easy pouring.

If making lots of pancakes, keep them warm in a single layer on a wire rack or parchment paper lined baking sheet in a 200 degree oven (stacking the pancakes may make them soggy).
