Healthy Whole Wheat Bran Flax Whey Pancakes With Yogurt Cheese Recipes

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in buttermilk and egg. Stir just until smooth.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

100% WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl; pour buttermilk mixture into dry ingredients. Stir just until combined (batter may seem a bit thick).
• 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.

WHOLE WHEAT VANILLA YOGURT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Add the buttermilk to a medium bowl. If making your own buttermilk, add the vinegar and the milk to the bowl, stir, and let sit for 10 minutes before proceeding.
• Stir in the yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until well-blended.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until blended.
• Heat a non-stick griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Using a one-third cup measure or a trigger ice cream scoop (my weapon of choice), pour the batter onto the griddle or into the frying pan. They're ready to flip when they start to look a little dry around the edges, and the pancakes start to form little bubbles, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
• Serve with additional vanilla yogurt and maple syrup drizzled over the top. A sprinkling of blackberries doesn't hurt, either.

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT BRAN, FLAX, WHEY PANCAKES WITH YOGURT CHEESE

Steps:

• Put cereal in a small bowl with enough whey to cover it. Let it soak while you put together the rest of the ingredients.
• Put the remainder of the whey, along with all the other ingredients, in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the moistened All Bran (it should be very mushy) and mix again.
• Drop by 1/3 cupfuls on a hot skillet or griddle. Flip when the top gets bubbled and cook until golden.
• Top with a generous helping of yogurt cheese, which adds protein and seems like cream cheese or cream, without the fat. Add your strawberries or blueberries and some maple syrup!
