These pancakes have a double dose of whole grains: whole wheat flour and crunchy wheat germ. Serve them with warmed applesauce and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Ingredients:
2/3 cup whole wheat flour |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup low-fat buttermilk |
2/3 cup water |
1/2 cup unsweetened chunky applesauce |
2 tablespoons light brown sugar |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 tablespoons apple butter |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 large egg |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ |
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.
