100% WHOLE WHEAT LOW FAT PANCAKES



100% Whole Wheat Low Fat Pancakes image

I created these one day for my kiddies when I couldn't find a recipe that fit my bill. They turned out great! Note: If you like fluffy pancakes stir wet ingredients into dry with a wooden spoon leaving some lumps (more lumps=bigger cakes), alternately if you like thin pancakes, like me, use your blender to mix all the ingredients at once and blend until smooth UPDATE: SEPT '07: For those who don't like really thick pancakes try reducing flour by 1/2cup and replacing it with milk, this will give a runnier batter and should give a thinner pancake :)THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS EVERYONE!!! (GOOD AND BAD, WE ALL LEARN FROM CRITISISM TOO ;) )

Time 20m

Yield 12 medium cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups low-fat milk (ie 1%, skim)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 large egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 -2 cup fruit (i.e., sliced bananas, strawberries, blueberries...your choice) (optional)

Steps:

  • Depending on your preference (see description above) blend/mix all ingredients except fruit.
  • Heat pan on medium till drop of water "dances" in pan.
  • Pour batter into pan to desired size of pancake, if using fruit add small handfuls to individual cakes after pouring into pan (I've done both adding to batter and adding to individual cakes and this works best for me, fruit tends to sink to bottom of bowl but both ways are acceptable).
  • When bubbles appear on surface and begin to "sink" flip and cook on other side until brown.
  • Note: if you are using a good non-stick pan it is not necessary to use oil in the pan!
  • Repeat with remaining batter until all gone.
  • Serve with favorite topping i.e., fruit, syrup, jam etc.

LOW FAT BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES



Low Fat Buckwheat Pancakes image

This recipe has a bit of a convoluted history! It was originally posted by a poster who left, and then was put up for "adoption." Since I'd made it before and loved it, I took it on as my own! I did change a few things when I made it; I had some apples to use up, so I cored nd sliced them and when I poured the batter on the griddle, I arranged the apple slices decoratively on top. That way, when I flipped the pancake, the slices got cooked into the pancake. It was yummy and added even more fiber and vitamins! Anyway, here's the original poster's description: Healthy pancakes to get you going in the morning. They aren't very sweet, so add some sugar or honey if you like your pancakes sweet. I like to eat these topped with plain yogurt and a bit of syrup. Freezes well.

LOW-FAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES



Low-Fat Buttermilk Pancakes image

These are from Susan Powter, but don't let the low-fat make you think these are not really tasty. I put all ingredients in a food processor, give it a good mixing, then fry in a hot skillet coated with cooking spray. I don't know why, but the first pancakes poured in the skillet always seem to be "sacrificial" (our dachsies love them). Keep the faith -- subsequent batches will be just fine. I often have a hungry pack of teens at my home on a Saturday morning -- doubling this recipe works great. Leftovers refrigerate well in a zip top bag for a quick reheat in the microwave. These also are delicious as pigs in blankets -- wrapped around cooked turkey sausage links. Cooking time noted is per batch of pancakes. Number of batches varies depending upon the size you make your pancakes.

WHOLE WHEAT LOW-FAT SUGAR-FREE PANCAKES

Make and share this Whole Wheat Low-Fat Sugar-Free Pancakes recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Sherri L.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 12m

Yield 12 Pancakes, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
2 teaspoons Splenda sugar substitute
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups fat-free buttermilk
1/2 cup orange juice
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
canola oil cooking spray

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, lightly mix together dry ingredients until well combined.
  • In a blender, place buttermilk, orange juice, egg whites and vanilla. Blend on low speed until well combined.
  • Gradually add dry mixture to blender in 2 to 3 batches, blending on low speed until just mixed.
  • Spray griddle or pan with oil spray and heat over medium heat until hot.
  • Slowly pour batter from blender, a little at a time, to make individual pancakes.
  • Turn pancakes when tops are covered with tiny bubbles and undersides look cooked. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until golden.
  • As each pancake is cooked, transfer to warm platter until all are cooked.
  • To freeze pancakes, first cool completely on wire rack.
  • Stack between wax paper, then place in heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag and place in freezer.
  • Reheat in microwave on high 45 seconds, or in toaster or toaster oven at medium-high heat until hot.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your pancakes will be. Plus, ripe bananas are easier to mash, which makes for a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined and there are no more lumps.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent your pancakes from sticking to the pan and make them easier to flip.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Flipping the pancakes too often will make them dry and tough. Wait until bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes before flipping them.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served fresh and warm. You can keep them warm in a preheated oven while you cook the rest of the batch.

Conclusion:

These low-fat pancakes are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They're made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Try adding different fruits, nuts, or spices to the batter for a unique twist. You can also serve them with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, or fruit.
