Whole Wheat Pancakes: No Butter, No Problem!

Pancakes are loved by so many! Lets change them up a bit shall we? Whole wheat flour doesn’t seem to get a lot of love so I brought them to the front to show their skills. It’s fun to try new things. Getting in the kitchen experimenting is fun! By the way, there is no butter as in the typical butter that many use such as from animals.
