Whole Grain Pancakes With Fresh Fruit Food

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl; set aside. Stir together milk, Egg Beaters, yogurt, oil and vanilla in small bowl. Add to flour mixture; stir just until blended. (Do not overmix. Batter still should be slightly lumpy.)
• Spray griddle with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot or heat electric griddle to 400 degrees F. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle for each pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top and bottom is golden brown. Turn and cook side until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Drizzle each serving with 1 tablespoon honey; top with fresh fruit. Serve immediately.

WHOLE-GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and honey. Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Check to see if it's hot by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. They should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
• Add a little butter to the pan and let it melt. Pour about 1/3 cup batter onto skillet; repeat to cook as many at one time as you can, leaving space for each pancake to spread.
• Cook until bubbles form and start to burst, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate as they finish, and serve immediately with maple syrup and more butter on top, if you like.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

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!

GREAT WHOLE WHEAT (FRESHLY MILLED) PANCAKES

Steps:

• In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• In another bowl mix wet ingredients.
• Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Cook's note: I usually "jumpstart" the heat by heating the stovetop griddle on high for about 5 minutes. Then I turn the heat down to 4 (just under medium) while I finish preparation. Then I lightly butter the grill with a cold butter stick on each section where I put pancake batter. I use 1/2 cup scoops for batter (for practicality in serving a large family). I usually bake them 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. The recipe make 8 large pancakes (1/2 cup batter) or 16 small pancakes (1/4 cup batter).

WHOLE GRAIN GRANOLA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, cereal, salt, baking powder and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
• Hint: Melt the margarine in the skillet you intend to use to cook the pancakes.
• Combine egg and brown sugar. Beat with fork until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add milk and vanilla. Stir.
• Add melted margarine as you stir the liquid mixture.
• Add dry ingredients and stir gently until blended. Let stand 3-5 minutes.
• Ladle onto a preheated non-stick skillet or griddle. Cook until lightly browned on each side, turning only once.
• Top with syrup, fruit spread or fresh fruit of your choice. Applesauce is especially good. Servings: 3 or 6 pancakes.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES WITH BLACKBERRIES

Steps:

• Whisk whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl just to incorporate. Using a few swift strokes, whisk egg mixture into dry ingredients just to combine. Stir grains into batter (you can pulse the grains in a food processor first if you prefer them in smaller pieces).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly brush with butter. Add half of batter to skillet, spreading into an even layer as wide as the skillet. Cook pancake until bubbles have formed and broken across the entire surface and underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using 2 spatulas (or sliding onto a flat plate before inverting back into skillet), flip pancake. Continue to cook until lightly browned underneath, about 1 minute. Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes topped with butter, fruit, and syrup.
