Building a nutrient-dense pantry is a smart way to enhance the flavor of superfoods without relying on added sugar, salt, unhealthy fats, and calories. Whole-grain flours such as whole-wheat flour offer the all same nutritional benefits as unmilled grains—fiber, B vitamins, protein, minerals, and healthy fats. Unfortunately, a simple 1:1 swap for less-nutritious white flour can sink the structure, texture, flavor, and moisture of your recipes. We test our recipes again and again to find the ideal ratio. Occasionally, it is 1:1. Case in point: this week’s free recipe. [100 Percent Whole-Wheat Pancakes]( Using all whole-wheat flour in this recipe delivers light, fluffy, and tender pancakes—not the dense cakes you’d imagine. Whole-wheat flour contains slightly less gluten-forming protein than white flour does and the bran in whole-wheat flour cuts through any gluten strands that do form, preventing the batter from becoming tough. Test Kitchen Tip: Use a bag of fresh or properly stored (in the freezer) whole-wheat flour for pancakes with buttery, nutty flavor.
