You are developing the gluten too much. Try blending the batter for a shorter amount of time. Especially, if you’re using a high powdered blender.

The batter for these pancakes tastes really good, and I was so excited to make them — So what did I do wrong? I’ve made this recipe twice, but the pancakes didn’t come out fluffy at all. (In fact they were pretty heavy and rubbery.) My family eats pancakes all the time, and they just love the ones I make from the pancake mix I buy from the local LDS cannery, but they’re not at all anxious for me to make these Blender Wheat Pancakes again which really frustrates me since I really want to start building a store of food and using it on a regular basis.

Any suggestions on what could have gone wrong (Why they didn’t fluff up like how they look in the picture here on this blog and like I’m used to making when I use other pancake mixes)?

I’m really hoping someone has a helpful idea so that the idea of food storage has a better shot of being accepted by my family.

Thanks so much in advance!

I’ve heard debates over the salt content as well. I usually use half the
amount so 3/4 but you can use whatever your family likes.

Crystal, We liked the lightness of your blender wheat pancakes! I just wanted to double check on the amount of salt (1 1/2 teaspoon with 1 cup of wheat seems like quite a bit of salt). Thanks for your enthusiasim about food storage; it’s catching!

This WILL break your cheap blender but not right away. About the first 25-30 times I made the recipe I did not have any problems. Then I noticed the batter seemed to be thinner than usual. I didn’t think much of it until the last time I made it and there were still hard pieces in my pancakes. I checked the blades and found that significant thumb pressure to the blade posed no danger to my skin. My husband thinks we can probably have the blades resharpened. Oh well.

These pancakes are INCREDIBLE. My husband is so totally NOT a fan of whole wheat, but he likes these! Even the *batter* smells good enough to eat with a spoon! I substituted a banana for the oil and topped them with blueberry pie filling (it was left over from topping your blender cheesecake–also INCREDIBLE)….SOOO good! Breakfast again tomorrow!
