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 FLUFFY VEGAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, sea salt and cinnamon (if using) in medium mixing bowl using a fork or whisk to help break up any lumps of flour and distribute the baking powder and salt.
• Add the wet ingredients (non-dairy milk and maple syrup) and gently mix until all the flour has been mixed in. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
• Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes while you heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• If needed, lightly oil the pan with coconut oil or olive oil or spray with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray, then scoop approximately 1/3 cup portions of the batter onto the pan.
• Cook the pancakes until the edges look dry, firm and golden brown and bubbles are appearing, then flip and cook for another 30-90 seconds until thick, fluffy and browned on both sides.
• Repeat with the remaining batter then serve right away with your favourite pancake toppings like fresh fruit and maple syrup.

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add wet ingredients to the mixing bowl and mix well with a spoon until there are no more dry spots; don't over-mix.
• Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Lightly spray oil to coat and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter. When the pancake starts to bubble, you may add your fruit if you wish. When the bubbles settle and the edges begin to set, flip the pancakes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter. Makes 14 pancakes.

HEALTHY CHOCOLATE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla.
• Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Don't overmix.
• Add the mini chocolate chips, if using, and stir gently to incorporate them.
• Heat a griddle or large saute pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and pour about 1/4 cup of the batter at a time. You'll be able to get 4-5 on a two-burner griddle and 3 in a large skillet at a time.
• Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the edges are cooked through and the middle of each pancake is bubbling. (If your stove cooks unevenly, you may want to turn your pan during the cooking time.)
• Carefully flip each pancake (it will release from the pan easily if it's ready to flip) and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until cooked through.
• Remove cooked pancakes to a plate or place in the oven to keep warm while you repeat. Note: I spray the pan/griddle with cooking spray in between each batch. I also find I need to reduce the heat a little as I continue to cook the pancakes so as not to burn them.
• Serve with strawberries, mini chocolate chips, maple syrup or powdered sugar, as desired. Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT PEACH PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, sift the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine all other ingredients, except peaches, using a whisk. Combine dry and wet ingredients. Let rest for 2 hours.
• Heat griddle. In the meantime, slice peaches thinly. Spoon pancake mixture onto the griddle. The sliced peaches should be added immediately. Flip once.

WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Make a well (hole) in the center of the dry ingredients and drop in the buttermilk, eggs, honey, and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
• Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl enough butter around the pan until it is well coated. Add pancake batter using a soup ladle.
• When the pancakes have begun to turn golden brown on the bottom and bubbly on the top, flip them over to cook the other side.
• Serve with warm pure maple syrup and fresh fruit. And don't forget to freeze the leftovers for another day!

WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES WITH NUTTY TOPPING

Steps:

• Make the topping: In a large skillet, toast the almonds and pumpkin seeds over medium-high heat, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the sunflower seeds and cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add the sesame seeds to the pan. Cover and cook, shaking the pan, until the seeds are toasted, about 30 seconds more. Transfer the toasted nuts and seeds to a medium sized bowl. Add the wheat germ. Stir in the syrup and a pinch of salt and set aside.
• Make the pancakes: Put the apple in a microwave-proof bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high until softened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, 1/2 cup of the milk and honey. Slowly whisk the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If the batter seems too thick, add as much of the remaining 1/4 cup milk as necessary.
• Spray a large non-stick griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the pan and top each pancake with a heaping tablespoon of the cooked apple. Flip when the pancake tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look cooked, about 2 minutes. Cook until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately or transfer the cooked pancakes to an ovenproof dish and keep warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven while making the rest. To serve, arrange 3 pancakes per plate and sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup of the topping. Serve with additional maple syrup.

Cook until the tops are bubbly and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven while making the rest.

NATURAL, WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl wisk egg until fluffy.
• Wisk in milk and vanilla.
• Add dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Batter will be thick. If thinner batter is preferred add milk until desired consistency is achieved. (I've found that the amount of milk I need changes dramatically depending on the brand of whole wheat flour I use).
• Heat griddle and grease with butter or very light tasting olive oil.
• Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto griddle.
• These pancakes will not "bubble" like traditional pancakes, so you will have to watch the bottoms to know when to turn. Flip cakes when bottom is golden brown.
• Top with 100% natural maple syrup (Log Cabin makes a good one) Check those labels! No corn syrup. :-).
