These Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes are made with healthy ingredients like oats, whole wheat flour and yogurt, so they’re dense, hearty and filling!
Hi Friends!
It’s time for another recipe refresher! I first published this recipe over 2 years ago and it’s still my go-to pancake recipe, so I think that warrants re-sharing it. These Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes are not for everyone. If fluffy Bisquick-style pancakes are your thing (like my hubby), these probably aren’t for you. I love them because they’re dense, hearty, filling and packed with healthy ingredients!
I made a batch of these to snack on yesterday so I thought I’d snap a few updated pics and share the goodness with all of you.
Here’s the recipe:
PrintWhole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes
Dense, hearty pancakes packed with good-for-you ingredients!
- Yield: 2 1x
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup yogurt (greek or regular, flavored or plain)
- 3 Tbsp milk
- 1 Tbsp applesauce
- 1 egg
- 1/2 c white whole wheat flour
- 3/4 c rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix the wet ingredients in a small bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined
- Cook on a hot griddle or pan, flipping several times to make sure they’re cooked all the way through.
This usually makes about 8 pancakes. Batter will be thick! Make sure you flip them a few times to let them cook all the way through!
I love them topped with nut butter and fresh fruit, but I also eat them plain before workouts and occasionally make my own fruit syrup to drizzle on top!
Feel free to have fun with mix-ins as well! Add some chia seeds, chocolate chips, chopped almonds or fresh fruit to the batter to change things up!

Love easy homemade pancake recipes! Will need to try this one out on the weekend!
woohoo! perfect for a busy week if you make a big batch!
I’ve told you this before but I’m stoked you’re going through to archives- I can catch up on these recipes (and once again, epic photos!)
yay! glad you’re enjoying. and thanks for the photo love 🙂
Whole wheat pancakes have always been a staple of mine. Your photos are awesome and thank you for sharing. 🙂
thanks hollie!
Looks great, will definitely try this soon. Most of my healthy pancake options have failed so far, so fingers crossed!!
Just one thing: could I swap the baking soda with baking powder or just leave it out?
Love, Wanda
you could probably just leave it out.
I love any and all pancakes! Topping it off with nut butter is my favorite.
there’s nothin’ better 🙂
Pancakes covered in nut butter and some fresh smashed berries is my absolute favorite way to start the weekend. This recipe looks great. Love the addition of Greek yogurt. Thanks for sharing!
just can’t get enough of the smashed berries and nut butter combo!
Pancakes are the ultimate weekend food for me! 🙂
My husband comes from a giant-and-fluffy-pancake kinda family, while I prefer the heartier, denser ones. He’s started to come around 🙂
wooohoo! good work 🙂
I love dense oaty pancakes! These look great.
I love nut butter on pancakes. My husband thinks it’s so weird. It’s so cool that you’re going through your recipe archives – I love rediscovering. 🙂
me too! it’s been a fun process!
They may not be fluffy Bisquick style, but they sound like they have tons of texture and flavor! I can see making these and freezing them to have on hand as a pre-run snack or for a quick school morning breakfast for the kids.
perfection!
Would these freeze well? I’m a huge fan of making breakfasts ahead of time, because I’m never that motivated in the morning! They look awesome!
I’ve frozen them a couple of times and they do pretty well!
Note to self: i don’t make myself pancakes enough.. 😉
gotta get on that, girl!
as much as i like fluffy pancakes, i prefer hearty ones for my breakfast. i have to try these soon.
Mmm! As much as I love fluffy pancakes, there is something so satisfying about a stack of dense, hearty pancakes. I’ll definitely be trying these!
yay! hope you love them!
love it! buckwheat flour will probably work! YUM!
I love dense healthy pancakes, but my hubby also likes fluffy light ones lol Your new pictures look great, all your hard work is totally paying off I’m pinning them!
thanks so much Kelli!
I love the dense & hubby loves fluffy – we are similar! 🙂
These look yummy! There are very few pancakes I have met and not liked! 😀
Let me know if you give them a try!
I LOVE adding oatmeal to my pancakes and waffles! I love the added texture that comes from it.. plus you can’t beat a little extra bit of protein and whole grains!
my thoughts exactly!
We are of the same mind! Dense pancakes are ALWAYS the way to go, especially when topped with some bananas and PB 😉
sounds like a win to me!
Mmm this looks so delicious! I have every ingredient and they are all things I eat regularly so I am excited to give them a try!
woohoo! hope you love them!
I’ve been making a lot of pancakes recently– except mine are the white flour- no-fiber versions haha. This would probably be the much better choice 😉
haha i think my hubby would like yours better!
Dense, hearty pancakes are one of my favorites. Thanks!
They’re the best kind in my opinion!
I really never add greek yogurt TO my pancakes, only on top… I need to try these!
i grew up eating yogurt on top of my pancakes too 🙂
I’m always down for some good pancakes! And I LOVE all that peanut butter on top of them!
that’s the best part 🙂
Yum!
these pancakes look amazing.. definitely wish i was waking up to a plate tomorrow morning!
wish i could send you some!
There is nothing I love more than oatmeal and pancakes for breakfast. A combination of the two? Genius! Thank you for this! I am currently drooling!
it’s a winning combo in my book too!
So mouth watering! That looks amazing.
wish i was waking up to a plate of these pancakes tomorrow morning! they look seriously delicious.
