To make this Healthy Whole Wheat Orange Pancakes Recipe, we are using a combination of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. So all the ingredients like whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, buttermilk, egg, salt, baking powder, baking soda and granulated sugar are added and mixed together.

A non-stick pan is heated and greased with some butter. A few tablespoons of the batter is added into the pan and the pancakes are cooked on the medium heat until bubbles appear on top. Then the pancake is flipped and cooked until golden brown from both sides. Finally the pancakes are drizzled with some honey and nuts and served warm.

These orange pancakes are made using healthy substitutes like whole wheat flour, orange juice and olive oil. The use of the buttermilk in these pancakes makes them extra fluffy and soft. For a strong orange flavour, we are making use of grated orange zest as well.

So the next time you’re craving for some healthy and nutrition rich pancake, make these citrusy pancakes. Use of orange juice and orange zest will give these pancakes a slight orange tinge that is going to taste beautiful once the pancakes are made.

Sometimes the use of butter and excess sugar can make pancakes extremely heavy as a breakfast dish, but this recipe goes light on the use of butter by replacing it with olive oil and there is very little sugar used, making these pancakes a healthier and light alternative to your regular pancakes.
