The Strawberry Sauce Makes the Dish

These were good; I haven't eaten or prepared pancakes in years, so I can't judge against the fuller-fat lower-fiber variety. I made these because I was sold on the good-for-you factor and I also wanted to test out my new Griddler. I didn't understand, though, why the heat below the griddle or pan needs to be so low. The pancakes took a long time to cook; I don't recall ever waiting so long for pancakes, or cooking them on low-medium heat. Does it have anything to do with the whole-wheat flour? The lower fat content? The pancakes were a tad dry; so next time I might make more of the yummy strawberry sauce. And don't skimp on the confectioners sugar; a little goes a long way and adds a nice, decadent touch. My husband really liked these, but he did have to add a little maple syrup.
Suprisingly Good!

These turned out better than I expected. I skipped cutting them into hearts and making the strawberry sauce. Instead, I just added a few blueberries into the batter. The pancakes were pretty soft and thick and I couldn't taste much of a difference with the wheat flour. The one thing I will warn is that they HAVE to be eatten while warm, otherwise they lose some of their flavor. Will definetly make these again!

My husband and I make these pancakes when we want something sweet for breakfasts. They are a great substitute to regular flour pancakes, even without the strawberry sauce.

This was the first time I tried a recipe from Ellie. I was not impressed. I found the pancakes to be extremely tasteless and had no warm or complex flavors which easily could have been achieved by adding some spices and/or extracts. However, the texture was not even good enough to build from this recipe. Will search for another, better, wheat pancake recipe.
Fulfilingly fluffy

I loved these pancakes. Their thicker than the normal whole wheat because of the soda, powder and buttermilk. Definiltey would make them again. The strawberry syrup was ok - not all that sweet and I used frozen strawberries so they seemed a bit watered down. All in all, would make the pancakes again and just use sugar free syrup or jam.

These pancakes were easy to make and delicious. However, I found the batter to be a little thinner than regular buttermilk pancake batter. A little bit more difficult to make the perfect round pancake but delicious for a whole wheat version.
WOW!

Every other whole wheat pancake recipe I have tried has been a big disappointment, but this one is fantastic! So light and fluffy and slightly sweet! I didn't make the strawberry sauce. Instead, I served them with the mango sauce Ellie makes for Angel Food Cake. Turned out great! I don't know that I'll every try another pancake recipe again. From now on, this is my pancake recipe!

I will definitely make this strawberry sauce again. The pancakes were a little bland and dry. As others said, adding a little sugar to the sauce helped sweeten it. And I used fat free vanilla yogurt in place of the buttermilk as well.
The BEST pancakes ever

I have been making these pancakes for a year and it just occured to me to rate them. Is is by far the best pancake recipe I have ever tried. The flavor, consistency and color are all fabulous. I have added every type of seasonal fruit available with great success. Don't change a thing, prepare the recipe as written. You won't be disappointed and will end up with a new favorite recipe. I threw out my other pancake recipes.
Fantastically genuine and passionate

I love the Idea of preparing this breakfast for my wife and bringing it to her in bed. I love the deep red color that the strawberries bring along with the cute heart shape pancakes. Great idea and looking for more from Ellie.
nice breakfast

added chocolate chips to sweeten them up. saved the sauce for dessert - heated it up and served over a little bit of premium vanilla ice cream - delightful!
Wonderful!

These pancakes are really great...they don't taste that much different from regular pancakes. But the really great part of this recipe is the strawberry sauce! Very yummy! I added 3 packets of Splenda to the sauce just to sweeten it a bit.
moist and delicious

My husband hates anything that comes close to being healthy. So rather than tell him I was making healthy pancakes, I let the food speak for itself, and he loved them.He even craves them.Amazing.

My husband is very picky when it comes to pancakes and he said these were the finest he had ever tasted! I didn't have any buttermilk in the house so I substituted 1/2 cup fat free yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup skim milk for the buttermilk and they still turned out fantastic! This is definitely my new favorite pancake recipe.
not a fan of regular pancakes in general.....loved these!

After making this recipe, i have a newfound love for whole-wheat pancakes. I am not a fan of regular pancakes at all in the first place, I find them very doughy and floury tasting; These were fabulous, i think the whole wheat flour changes the consistency a little bit but just enough because I loooved these.
GREAT!

Very good (and healthy!) pancakes. They rose beautifully and the whole wheat flour lends great texture. I've never made pancakes in a non-stick pan without butter, but it works great and cuts down on much of the richness of typical pancake prep. Also, the strawberry sauce was very nice; I imagine substituting raspberries would be equally delicious. I will definitely make these again.
too good to be true

Definitely the BEST pancakes! I used whole grain pastry flour for the whole wheat, and they turned out very fluffy and delicious.

This is my new fav recipe for pancakes. They are so healthy too! I made them for my picky boyfriend, who doesn't like to eat healthy. He loved them. I think the sauce is what did it. I left the lemon out, and I thought it was delicious.
Delicious and filling

These pancakes were light and fluffy and so tasty! I used the whole wheat pastry flour that I have bought for several of Ellie's other recipes. I also did not have any strawberries so I made a blueberry sauce instead by simmering 1 c. frozen blueberries with 1/3 c. water. I then added 2 t. cornstarch dissolved in 1 T. water and simmer a little longer. Right before serving I stirred in 1 T. of maple syrup! It was a great breakfast and no one knew it was HEALTHY! HAHAHA!!!
Good Pancakes

Whole Wheat Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce

They were very light, tender, and airy. Would be wonderful made with blueberrys, or bannanas. Easy to make. And, the best part is they are more healthy for you than white flour pancakes. The strawberry sauce needed a touch more honey or sweetner if the berries are not that sweet. My husband is a diabetic so we used Stevia, a natural sweetner.
a little too thick

Although the strawberry syrup was a big hit for the family, the recipe was a little too thick and I had to put more milk to lighten the batter. Once that was done they were much lighter and fluffier.
Very Tasty!

I was actually very surprised by how good these pancakes tasted! I am always afraid of "healthy recipes". Even my picky husband ate them. However, I did not care for the strawberry sauce. I used a little syrup on them. Definitely a keeper!
GREAT PANCAKES!!!

I made these pancakes for breakfast this morning and they were great. They were light and fluffy and the hint of vanilla made them even more delicious. I'm always looking for recipes that use whole wheat flour and this recipe uses 1/2 regular flour and 1/2 whole wheat. I did make some slight changes though. I used a little Splenda since my honey was a little too thick for pouring and I used one regular egg and one "Egg Beater" egg. What's great about this recipe too is the fact that you don't have to add any oil or butter. It's definitely a keeper and one I will share with my friends!
