PERFECT WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES



Perfect Whole Wheat Pancakes image

This recipe comes from the Tassajara Bread Book. I like whole wheat but I hate the heaviness of the finished recipe and usually halve it with white flour. This recipe defies all of that. They are so good. The genius who created this recipe should get a medal. I have used powdered milk in place of regular milk for this and found no difference. I'm saying 8 pancakes in yield, but it really varies on the size you like your pancakes. Additional note: you can substitute applesauce for the oil (use the same amount) and they turn out exactly the same with a lot less calories.

ORGANIC WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

The yogurt makes these whole wheat pancakes taste moist and delicious. I mix up the batter plain and then throw on diced fruit or nuts on top after I pour it onto the griddle, but before I turn them over. My toddler son loves berries or bananas on his and I prefer walnuts or pecans.

NATURAL, WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES



Natural, Whole Wheat Pancakes image

I've been trying to cut chemicals out of my diet and eat more natural foods. This is a recipe I came up with while modifying the traditional pancake recipe. I used Wheat Montana 100% whole wheat flour, found at Walmart.

Provided by Mom2MMCJ

Categories     Breakfast

Time 10m

Yield 7 medium pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg
1 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons organic sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups 100% whole wheat flour (chemical & GMO free)

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. :-).

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

This is my mom's recipe for pancakes, the ones that I grew up with on saturday mornings with cartoons. They are excellent with butter and syrup, but I especially like them topped with strawberry jam. For variety, try adding about 3 mashed bananas to the batter and then topping with the strawberry jam..... YUM!!

Categories     Breakfast and Brunch     Pancake Recipes     Whole Grain Pancake Recipes

Time 20m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons bran
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk, or more as needed
1 large egg
1 tablespoon honey
cooking spray

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pancakes.
  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh. Old baking powder will not make your pancakes rise properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will allow the gluten to relax and will make the pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

These natural whole wheat pancakes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. These pancakes are also a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins. You can enjoy these pancakes with your favorite toppings.
