Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together until evenly blended.
- Stir in the wheat germ, which adds a wonderful nutty flavor and a boost of nutrition.
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until they become light and frothy.
- To the beaten eggs, add the milk, honey, and oil. Beat together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook the pancake until the edges start to set and bubbles form on top, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Continue cooking the remaining pancakes, making sure to spray the pan with more cooking spray as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.
