A little more tender or crumbly than all-purpose flour pancakes, but the taste was right on. I'll make these again.

Turned out great! I followed some of the reviews and used milk instead of water. I also added a bit of vanilla and used buttermilk. Amazing!! Very healthy and low fat!

I replaced just 1/4 cup of the wheat flour with all-purpose per the other peoples comments and we thought they were great.

I agree with Nadette. If you just replace a little of the whole wheat flour with all-purpose, the consistency is a lot better and the taste is better.

I'll make these tomorrow but use skim milk with a tbsp of vinegar to make buttermilk, and I'll add stevia instead of brown sugar. Then I will add sweet potato and a few pecans.

These are better if you use 3/4 cup wheat flour and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. You get a better batter constancy. I agree with other comments about a little more sugar and hint of vanilla.

I also increased the brown sugar to 2 Tablespoons and added a dash of vanilla. Good for a simple, whole-wheat pancake.

I added 2 tbs of brown sugar instead of 1, fat free milk instead of water, added an extra tablespoon of apple sauce and a teaspoon of honey... very good!

Not impressed at all. I debated subbing out the water for milk and really should have. These were very plain. Couldn't taste the applesauce at all. I threw them away.

I made the changes some reviewers suggested: 2 Tbs brown sugar (instead of 1) and used fat free milk instead of water. I also added half a banana to the batter once it was on the griddle. Sooo good! The batter was a little thick, but I didn't sift ad I just added some water to fix it. Again, I thought they were wonderful and better than regular pancakes as well as better for you! Thanks for the recipe! :-)

Delicious pancakes! I'm a pancake lover so I am glad there is a healthy option. I added flax seed to the batter (for health, not taste) and I always use sugar free maple syrup. Yum :-)

Great recipe! I used low fat (1%) milk instead of water and used 2 tbsps brown sugar instead of one. The consistency was perfect. We used a little bit of both low fat margarine and powdered sugar as a glaze and topped with sliced bananas. It seemed like this recipe only made about six pancakes (2 for each person-therefore three people). However, I'm sure it woud have made more if I had made them a bit smaller. Wonderful way to add whole wheat into your diet. I will definitely make these again!

As prepared these are OK; I like them sweeter (doubled amount of brown sugar) and fluffier (used 1/2 part skim milk in place of 1/2 part water - you''ll need to add just a bit more water to get the batter to the right consistency this way) as well as 1 tsp Vanilla extract. Also used 1/3 cup blueberries.

Texture was good, but the taste wasn't great. I like a little sweeter pancake experience. Maybe I'll try some of the suggestions here and add some fruit.

I added some flaxseed and bananas. It was okay, pretty good. The consistency was fine, I just prefer a little sweeter.

Yum! I mixed in 2 mashed bananas and about 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the wet ingredients, and added about 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the dry ingredients. I made sure to sift the dry ingredients as well. These came out great, and I feel good about eating them since they are whole grain and low-fat. Fantastic recipe!

The pancakes tend to be more dense than light/fluffy, but they still taste delicious! I added a lot of cinnamon and some nutmeg. I also added the blueberries for antioxidants and a bit more sweetness. Everyone wanted seconds!

I had no problem with the density. I however substituted fat-free soy milk for the water and added 1/4 cup of a real egg product (Land of Lakes)to the recipe. With some nuts, fruit and low-fat yogurt it makes a great breakfast.

Durn good pancakes. I didn't have a problem with their density -- the sifting might be key. It's easy to skip but usually pretty crucial. Throw some pecans on there, you wont regret it.

I really liked this recipe. I used Organic unrefined brown sugar, as well as unsweetened applesauce. These i found are the best whole wheat pancakes i've ever had. Try them, what do you have to loose!

Very dense. Didn't taste good at all. Would not recommend.

Sadly, the pancakes I made were pretty dense. They tasted okay, but I couldn't get the light fluffiness.
