Erin’s Healthyish Pancake Recipe: (adapted from Alison Roman’s Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes)

1.5 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
½ cup unflavored protein powder
¼ cup honey
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
5 cups buttermilk
3 large eggs
6 tablespoons melted butter

Whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Pour buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter into a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Mix together starting in the center with a whisk (small lumps are ok). Cook all of the pancakes. Cool and freeze left-overs flat in a ziploc bag. Pop into the toaster and serve with butter and syrup!
