Healthy Whole Wheat Bran, Flax, Whey Pancakes With Yogurt Cheese image

I've adapted a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook recipe to have whole wheat, flax, bran, and whey for extra protein, as well as some spices. I add blueberries (or strawberries, or whatever else is handy) and yogurt cheese on top for some extra YUM. These probably sound pretty dull and possibly health-food-weirdo strange, but they are delicious and feel like a very indulgent treat rather than health food! I quadruple the recipe and freeze what we don't eat. They reheat great. NOTE: These make a thin, nearly crepe-like pancake. If you like a thicker pancake, use less liquid.

Time 17m

Yield 12 pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-bran cereal (not All-Bran-it's too heavy(I've found Trader Joe's high-fiber cereal works best)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup whey (or water or milk)
1/3 cup powdered milk
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 cup blueberries (or other fruit)
3 tablespoons nonfat yogurt cheese
3 tablespoons maple syrup

Steps:

  • Put cereal in a small bowl with enough whey to cover it. Let it soak while you put together the rest of the ingredients.
  • Put the remainder of the whey, along with all the other ingredients, in a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add the moistened All Bran (it should be very mushy) and mix again.
  • Drop by 1/3 cupfuls on a hot skillet or griddle. Flip when the top gets bubbled and cook until golden.
  • Top with a generous helping of yogurt cheese, which adds protein and seems like cream cheese or cream, without the fat. Add your strawberries or blueberries and some maple syrup!

These pancakes were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll add more milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of the flavor of these pancakes. They're a bit too bland for my taste.

These pancakes are a bit denser than traditional pancakes, but I like the texture. They're also very filling.

I've never made pancakes with yogurt cheese before, but I'm glad I tried this recipe. The yogurt cheese topping is the perfect complement to the pancakes.

I love the flavor of these pancakes. The flax and whey protein give them a unique flavor that I really enjoy. I also like that they're not too sweet.

These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover whey protein. They're also a good source of fiber and protein. I like to make a big batch of them on the weekend and then freeze them for later.
