1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon granular sugar substitute
1 cup buttermilk

In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add buttermilk and oil and stir until combined. Let batter rest five minutes. Heat a griddle over medium heat, and lightly coat with cooking spray.
