Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat and follow the manufacturer's directions regarding adding oils or cooking sprays to prepare the cooking surface. (Alternatively, you can use a large, nonstick skillet, cooking the pancakes in smaller batches.)
  • Begin by combining flour, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl, stirring thoroughly with a whisk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, combine egg, milk, oil, and vanilla, stirring to thoroughly combine.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the well in the center of the dry ingredients. Mix by pulling the dry ingredients into the wet center. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix (there may still be a few small lumps in the batter).
  • Pour the pancakes onto your griddle in the desired sizes or shapes. The pancakes should be ready to flip when they have bubbles at the center and are beginning to look a little dry at the outer edges. At that point, they should be perfectly golden brown underneath. Exactly how long this takes will vary depending on how hot your particular griddle runs and how large you choose to make your pancakes.
  • After you flip the pancakes, the second side should cook in about half the time as the first side.
  • Serve warm.

EASY DELICIOUS WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES



Easy Delicious Whole Wheat Pancakes image

Whole wheat flour makes pancakes taste nutty and delicious. This recipe is quite flexible. We love using a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour. The pancakes are lovely, light and fluffy. For 100% whole wheat pancakes, simply use all (1 1/2 cups) whole wheat flour and no all-purpose flour. We have noticed that whole wheat flour absorbs liquid a little more than all-purpose flour. Because of this, you might find that you need to add a little extra milk to the pancake batter before cooking the pancakes.

Time 30m

Yield Makes approximately 8 pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup (100 grams) whole wheat flour
3/4 cup (100 grams) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups (295 to 350 ml) milk, dairy or non-dairy
1 large egg
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the skillet or substitute coconut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Whisk flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and the salt in a medium bowl, set aside.
  • Warm the milk until lukewarm, not hot (you should be able to keep your finger submerged for 10 seconds).
  • Whisk milk, butter, egg, and the vanilla together until blended.
  • Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour milk mixture into the well and stir with a fork until mixed and only small clumps of flour remain. Do not over mix batter. Note: The batter will be quite thick. If it is unreasonably thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more milk to thin it out a little.
  • Heat a large skillet (or use griddle) over medium heat. The pan is ready if when you splatter a little water onto the pan surface, the water dances around the pan and eventually evaporates.
  • Lightly brush skillet with melted butter. Spoon a 1/4-cup of the batter onto the skillet and gently spread into a 4-inch circle. (If the batter is thick, you may need to use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle).
  • When the edges look dry and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancakes, turn over, about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle. Serve warm with syrup, bananas or other toppings.

ALTON BROWN'S FLUFFY WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES



Alton Brown's Fluffy Whole Wheat Pancakes image

I've tried many whole wheat pancake recipes. Some were good, some not so good but I never had one make me say, "Wow! A truly fluffy whole wheat pancake!" until this one. Posting it here so I don't lose it! We love to eat these for dinner with some turkey sausage. Very filling!

Time 15m

Yield 12 4-in pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups whole wheat flour (I used whole wheat pastry flour.)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used about 2 T. to cut down on fat.)

Steps:

  • Mix together all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients. (I just melted the butter slightly before adding it in with the eggs and buttermilk.).
  • Add the wet stuff to the dry stuff and mix just until batter comes together. Do NOT mix smooth. Set aside batter to rest for 5 minutes.
  • * Heat an electric griddle to 350 degrees or place a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.
  • *Test the griddle by flicking water on it. If the water dances across the surface, you're good to go.
  • * Rub down the griddle with a little butter or spray with nonstick spray.
  • Ladle 1 scoop of batter onto the griddle. (Batter will be thick! Just spread it out with the bottom of your ladle or the back of a spoon.) Cook until bubbles form in the batter and bottom is golden, approximately three minutes. Flip and cook until the second side is golden, another a minute or so. Adjust the heat as necessary as you go along. Serve while hot!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 8-12 small pancakes, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/4 cup low-fat milk
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Sift whole wheat flour into a large bowl. Add baking powder and baking soda and mix well.
  • In another bowl, mix the yogurt, milk and egg together well.
  • Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir to make sure all ingredients are incorporated well.
  • Leave the batter to rise for 10-15 minutes. This will let the yogurt and baking soda react and bubbles should start to appear.
  • Grease a non-stick skillet and heat it up. Turn the heat down to medium before cooking the pancakes.
  • Use about 1/8 cup batter for a small, 3-4" pancake. Cook until the edges of the pancake are slightly browned before flipping. Cook the other side until done.
  • Adjust heat and/or regrease skillet if needed. Serve with toppings.

Tips:

  • Using 100% whole wheat flour will result in a denser pancake, so it's important to use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will make the pancakes tough.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking. This will help the flour to absorb the liquid and result in a more tender pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium-low heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often will make them tough.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. They're delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These 100% whole wheat pancakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. So next time you're looking for a hearty and nutritious breakfast, give these pancakes a try!
