Fat Free Delicious Whole Wheat 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 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.

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.

WHOLE WHEAT LOW-FAT SUGAR-FREE PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, lightly mix together dry ingredients until well combined.
• In a blender, place buttermilk, orange juice, egg whites and vanilla. Blend on low speed until well combined.
• Gradually add dry mixture to blender in 2 to 3 batches, blending on low speed until just mixed.
• Spray griddle or pan with oil spray and heat over medium heat until hot.
• Slowly pour batter from blender, a little at a time, to make individual pancakes.
• Turn pancakes when tops are covered with tiny bubbles and undersides look cooked. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until golden.
• As each pancake is cooked, transfer to warm platter until all are cooked.
• To freeze pancakes, first cool completely on wire rack.
• Stack between wax paper, then place in heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag and place in freezer.
• Reheat in microwave on high 45 seconds, or in toaster or toaster oven at medium-high heat until hot.

FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift DRY ingredients: Flour, Powder, & Salt into bowl. Use the whisk to push it through the Sieve.
• Make a well (hole) in the middle of the dry ingredients.
• Pour all the WET ingredients: Honey, Milk, Egg, Oil, & Vanilla into that well.
• DO NOT OVER MIX - it should only take about 20-30 strokes. Here's how:.
• Beat only the WET ingredients for a few strokes.
• Gradually add in the DRY ingredients, pulling just the edges into the center well.
• Keep doing this until all the DRY is incorporated into the WET and you have a batter.
• KEY: Let the batter sit for at LEAST 10min, 15 is better.
• Heat griddle to 350F - On a normal stove this is MEDIUM heat. If you have a knob with numbers 1-10, Medium is about #4.
• When you know griddle is hot, and batter has sat long enough ladle batter onto the hot surface.
• I suggest doing only 1 at first to see how much it spreads. No one likes Butt-Cheek Cakes ;).
• Let the cake cook for about 1-2min (it's fast, I know!).
• When the edges have solidified and there is less steam escaping it is ready to flip.
• Pancakes WILL TELL YOU when they are ready to be flipped. If it doesn't release on its own - it's not ready.
• Once flipped it should only cook about 1 more min - but 2 is fine.
• Place cooked cakes on damp paper/dish towel in a warm oven, covered.
• Repeat for the rest of the cakes.
• If setting a 2min timer works for you, do that - so shame is playing it safe ;).

HONEY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix flour, bran, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk milk, egg, and honey together in different bowl. Slowly blend wet ingredients into dry ingredients until lightly mixed; do not overmix or it will make the pancakes less fluffy. Let sit for 5 minutes so wheat and bran can really absorb the wet ingredients.
• Meanwhile, preheat a griddle or skillet to medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray.
• Ladle approximately 2 tablespoons batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, working in batches if necessary. Cook until pancakes are slightly bubbly, about 1 minute. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
