Healthy Low Fat Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

WHOLE-GRAIN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, oil, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Resist overmixing--it will make the pancakes tough.
• Let the batter sit, without stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes. As the batter rests, the baking powder forms bubbles that create fluffy pancakes and the gluten in the flour relaxes to make them more tender.
• Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Without stirring the batter, measure out pancakes using about 1/4 cup batter per pancake and pour into the pan (or onto the griddle). Cook until the edges are dry and you see bubbles on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter, coating the pan with cooking spray and reducing the heat as needed.

100% WHOLE WHEAT LOW FAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Depending on your preference (see description above) blend/mix all ingredients except fruit.
• Heat pan on medium till drop of water "dances" in pan.
• Pour batter into pan to desired size of pancake, if using fruit add small handfuls to individual cakes after pouring into pan (I've done both adding to batter and adding to individual cakes and this works best for me, fruit tends to sink to bottom of bowl but both ways are acceptable).
• When bubbles appear on surface and begin to "sink" flip and cook on other side until brown.
• Note: if you are using a good non-stick pan it is not necessary to use oil in the pan!
• Repeat with remaining batter until all gone.
• Serve with favorite topping i.e., fruit, syrup, jam etc.

Steps:

• In large bowl, beat eggs with wire whisk until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. (For thinner pancakes, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk.)
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 350°F. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles jump around, heat is just right.) Grease griddle with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook until puffed and dry around edges. Turn and cook other side until golden brown.

• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup of batter onto hot skillet and use a spoon to spread the pancake a bit. Cook until browned and bubbles appear on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and set in the middle, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Turn pancakes; cook until undersides are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a baking sheet, and keep warm in oven. Divide pancakes among four plates. Serve with syrup and berries, if desired.

Cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the griddle or skillet and continue until all the batter is used, adding more butter as needed.
