Pancakes make a simple yet satisfying breakfast and I make it quite often. I like to explore various pancake recipes, and although I like whole grain pancakes (using whole wheat flour only), my daughter is not a fan. This recipe is tweaked from one that I found online to include wheat bran. Feel free to replace it with more flour if you do not have wheat bran.
I found these pancakes fluffy with a nice slightly cakey texture. My daughter quite enjoyed it! I say quite because she has been very fussy with food lately – blame it on the teething.
