Daddys Whole Wheat Low Fat Pancakes Recipes

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Spray a nonstick griddle with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking powder, sweetener, and salt.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, egg white, and vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients and fold together. Do not overmix, otherwise the pancakes will turn out tough and dry.
• Scoop ~⅓ cup of the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear dry. Flip and cook the other side. Do this until all the batter is used up.
• Serve immediately with pure maple syrup (or Homemade Maple Syrup), a pat of organic butter, natural whipped cream, fresh fruit, 100% fruit spread, natural peanut butter, etc... whatever you like!

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.

DADDY'S WHOLE WHEAT LOW FAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients - set aside.
• Turn on pan, use 375 degrees if using a griddle. Pan is ready when drops of water dance on the griddle.
• Using a mixer, mix egg whites until stiff, set aside.
• Mix together: milk, egg yolks, oil and vanilla.
• Combine milk mixture and dry mixture, mix til almost smooth, some small lumps are ok.
• Now fold in egg whites to mixture. You may have some "white" still showing, do not mix til smooth as you want the "air in the whites".
• Now pour on hot griddle and cook til some bubbles appear and is brown on bottom (you can peek, but don't flip til ready).
• *Try to only flip once, as they will stay fluffier that way.
• Serve with low cal syrup or real Maple for those who still need it!
• Enjoy!
