Whole-Wheat Pancakes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4
- Ingredients
- ½ cup flour, whole-wheat
- ½ cup flour, all-purpose
- ¼ cup wheat germ, toasted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar substitute
- 1 large egg
- 10 fluid ounces milk, fat-free
- 4 teaspoons margarine, canola-based, trans-fat free
- 4 tablespoons reduced-calorie pancake syrup
- Preparation:
- Stir together flours, wheat germ, baking powder, and sugar substitute in a medium bowl until well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg and milk; add all at once to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray. (It should be hot enough so that when you sprinkle drops of water on the surface, they dance.)
- Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to measure and pour the cakes. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
- Turn when bubbles come to the surface and pop, and the edges are slightly dry.
- Remove from pan when bottom is lightly brown, about 1 to 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Makes approximately 8 pancakes, or 2 per serving.
- Evenly divide margarine (1 teaspoon per serving) and syrup (1 tablespoon per serving) among each serving.
- Serve immediately with fresh fruit and lean turkey sausage, if desired.
