The ultimate healthy pancakes recipe round-up so you can have your favorite sweet brunch full of nutritious ingredients. Stack em’ high with this delicious round-up of 40 healthy pancake recipes from The Healthy Maven and around the web.

Forget Valentines Day, forget Fashion Week (already done), February is Pancake Month! Right? February is stacking up to be a seriously good month. In honor of this glorious holiday, I propose we celebrate with pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In addition to 40+ healthy pancake recipes, I’m sharing the healthiest pancake mix so you can always have pancakes on hand.

Easy Healthy Pancake Recipe:

Before we get into some of the best healthy pancake recipes on the web, I did want to share an easy healthy pancake recipe made from simple ingredients that you can customize yourself.

  • flour – all-purpose flour , whole wheat flour (for whole grains) or oat flour (for gluten-free) all work!
  • baking powder – to help your pancakes rise.
  • salt – to bring all of the flavors together.
  • dairy-free mik – almond, coconut and oat milk all work great!
  • maple syrup – for a hint of sweetness.
  • egg – to help bind the wet and dry ingredients together.
  • vanilla extract – the perfect flavor base for this recipe!

FULL RECIPE BELOW.

Feel free to get crazy with the mix-ins or toppings but you can always keep it simple and just drizzle a little maple syrup to taste. Also this healthy pancake mix also works great as a waffle mix as well.

  • Author: Davida Lederle

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups flour (regular, whole wheat, oat flour – just no coconut flour!)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, coconut, oat all work great)
  • 12 tbsp maple syrup (for sweetness)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of add-ins of choice (chocolate chips, fresh berries, nuts etc…)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well-combined. Add more milk if batter texture is too thick.
  2. Heat up a skillet and add butter or coconut oil.
  3. Pour 1/3 cup of batter into skillet and let cook for about 3 minutes or until all air bubbles have popped.
  4. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until cooked all the way through. Enjoy!

How to Meal Prep Healthy Pancakes

One of the best things about pancakes is how great they are for meal prep! You can make a batch on the weekend for brunch and save leftovers for healthy breakfasts all week long.

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for longer. To freeze pancakes you’ll lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then place them into a ziplock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, pop them in a toaster or microwave to reheat.
