Whole Grain Strawberry Pancakes Recipes

WHOLE-GRAIN STRAWBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle 12-inch skillet to 375°F or over medium-high heat. If necessary, grease with canola oil (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In medium bowl, beat eggs, 2/3 cup vanilla yogurt, the water and oil with wire whisk until well blended. Pour egg mixture all at once into flour mixture; stir until moistened.
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly on top, puffed and dry around edges. Turn; cook other sides 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place 2 pancakes on each individual serving plate. Top each with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1 to 2 tablespoons strawberry yogurt.

STRAWBERRY GRANOLA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the pancake batter by stirring together the pancake mix, milk, brown sugar, oil and eggs until combined. Stir in the strawberry preserves, then stir in the granola and chopped strawberries, adding more of either if you'd prefer.
• Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a little butter to the skillet and fry the pancakes on both sides until dark golden. Serve with chopped strawberries, granola, syrup and vanilla yogurt on top.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a bowl, toss the oats with the oil, melted butter and salt. Spread the mixture out on 2 baking sheets and toast in the oven for 12 minutes, shaking the pans twice during the cooking time and making sure the oats don't burn. Set aside to cool a bit.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, apple juice and molasses. Stir the mixture until combined, then heat over medium heat, stirring, until barely bubbling. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Toss together the toasted oats, rice cereal, wheat germ, pecans, sunflower seeds, almonds and flax seeds. Pour in the sugar mixture, stirring as you pour. Toss to combine; it will be sticky!
• Thoroughly grease a baking sheet or line it with greased foil. Tip the mixture onto the baking sheet, spread out and bake until golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool, then use a fork to make clusters. Store in a jar until ready to use.

HEART-SHAPED WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium-low flame.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt). In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, non-fat milk, honey and vanilla.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to ladle the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancake when the top is bubbling and it is golden brown on the bottom. Then cook until the other side is golden brown. Hold on an oven proof plate in the oven until the entire batch is ready. When all the pancakes are ready, cut them into heart shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place pancakes on top and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if using.
• Puree strawberries to a chunky puree. Heat them in a small saucepan over a low flame, until they are just warm. Stir in lemon juice and maple syrup.

STRAWBERRY VANILLA PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Pour in the milk, oil, egg and vanilla, and mix until well blended. Stir in the strawberries.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat, and coat with butter or cooking spray. Pour batter into desired size of pancakes. Flip with a spatula when bubbles appear in the center. Cook until golden brown on the other side.

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour milk, egg, and melted butter into the well; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, pour or scoop 1/4 cupfuls batter onto the hot surface and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Serve with fresh strawberries.
