Step 1
Start by heating a lightly oiled griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. In a large bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, white whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until everything is well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just mixed—you’ll still see some lumps, and that’s totally fine. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 to 3 minutes. Keep going until you’ve used up all the batter, and enjoy!

How to serve
Serve these pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey to complement the spices. Fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas adds a nice freshness. For an extra touch, try a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of nuts on top.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a toaster or microwave. You can also freeze them for longer storage; just separate each pancake with parchment paper before freezing.
