Healthy Whole Grain Recipe

Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups whole wheat flour
1 large egg
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/3 cups buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon oil

Directions:

Preheat griddle.

In medium bowl, stir or sift dry ingredients together; beat egg, buttermilk, brown sugar and oil together. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened; batter should be slightly lumpy.

Pour 1/4 cup batter for each cake onto a well seasoned hot griddle. Flip the pancake when bubbles appear on surface; turn only once.

Alternatives:

  • Omit soda, use 2 teaspoons baking powder and 1-1/3 cups 2 percent milk.
  • Add 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • Serve hot, chunky, spiced applesauce or thick fruit sauce over cakes instead of syrup for extra nutrition and fiber.
