In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you achieve a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add half of the canola oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Pour approximately 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look cooked, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover to keep warm. Add the remaining canola oil to the skillet if necessary and repeat until all the batter is used.
Top the Eierkuchen with fresh berries and sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving.
