Apple-Wheat Germ Hotcakes Recipe

Directions:

1. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
2. Combine buttermilk and next 7 ingredients in a bowl; stir well with a whisk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.
3. Heat a nonstick griddle or nonstick skillet lightly coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto pan. Sprinkle each pancake with 1 teaspoon wheat germ. Turn hotcakes when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked.
4. Note: The temperature of the griddle or skillet needs to be kept at medium to medium-low because the wheat germ burns easily. If the wheat germ burns, wipe the griddle clean with a wet paper towel.
