Whole Grain Pancakes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250. Put the apple in a microwave-safe bowl and tightly cover with plastic wrap; microwave on high until softened, about 2 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, nonfat milk, eggs and honey, then slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
• Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and sprinkle each with apple, then drizzle a little more batter over the apple. Cook until the tops are bubbly and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven while making the rest.
• Place 2 pancakes on each plate. Drizzle with the syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Blend the milk and eggs in a blender until thoroughly mixed. Add the flour, vanilla, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and lemon zest and blend again until combined, scraping down the sides if necessary, about 15 seconds. Cover the blender jar and refrigerate while cooking the apples.
• Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and sprinkle them with the granulated sugar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Arrange the apples evenly in the skillet. Remix the batter to reincorporate the ingredients, then pour it over the apples.
• Bake the pancake until it is browned and set in the center and the sides have risen about 1 1/2 inches, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve directly from the skillet or use a large spatula to transfer the pancake to a plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, oats, cornmeal, flaxseed meal, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Pour in buttermilk and egg. Stir just until smooth.
• Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Coat with cooking spray. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Using wire whisk, mix egg whites and milk.
• Add oats to milk mixture, let set 5 minutes.
• Melt butter in griddle or non-stick frying pan.
• Turn off heat and let cool slightly.
• Mix baking powder, flour and sugar in separate bowl.
• Whisk dry mixture into milk mixture.
• Scrape cooled butter from griddle into batter.
• Whisk butter into batter.
• Turn griddle on to medium heat.
• Pour desired amount of batter onto griddle.
• Cook until edges of pancake no longer glossy.
• Flip pancakes and cook on second side until light brown.
• You can add berries, chocolate chips by dropping them into uncooked pancake after pouring batter onto griddle.

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
• Add wet ingredients and mix together.
• Cook on a hot griddle.

Steps:

• heat griddle to about 360f degrees
• add all dry ingredients to large bowl and mix well.
• in seperate bowl, mix egg, oil, and milk well.
• add wet and dry ingredients and mix well.
• cook on each side for about 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• makes about 4 to 5 4" pancakes.

Steps:

• Whisk whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl just to incorporate. Using a few swift strokes, whisk egg mixture into dry ingredients just to combine. Stir grains into batter (you can pulse the grains in a food processor first if you prefer them in smaller pieces).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly brush with butter. Add half of batter to skillet, spreading into an even layer as wide as the skillet. Cook pancake until bubbles have formed and broken across the entire surface and underside is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Using 2 spatulas (or sliding onto a flat plate before inverting back into skillet), flip pancake. Continue to cook until lightly browned underneath, about 1 minute. Transfer pancake to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes topped with butter, fruit, and syrup.

Steps:

• Whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, oil and eggs together in a medium bowl. Make a small well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. Whisk until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy.
• Heat a pancake griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl or stir to coat the surface. Working in batches, spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancakes when the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges are lightly browned and set. Cook the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the griddle or skillet and continue until all the batter is used, adding more butter as needed.
• Serve the pancakes with your choice of chocolate syrup (or melted chocolate ganache), berries, maple syrup and/or whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the starter, flours and water (or milk).
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest one to twelve hours. I usually mix it the night before.
• In the morning while you're waiting for the waffle iron or pancake pan to heat up, mix the egg, oil, and salt into the flour mixture. Just before cooking, stir in the baking soda.
• Using a quarter or half cup measuring cup ladle the batter onto the hot pan. For waffles cook according to the waffle iron directions, usually around 5 minutes, for pancakes flip when the edges start to bubble and the surface loses it's gloss.
• Notes- You can use your choice of whole grains. I like rice flour, available at Whole Foods or health food stores. It adds a light crunchy texture to waffles. I've also used quinoa, barley, spelt, and coconut flours with great success. (If you use half cornmeal it makes a most excellent supper when topped with chili or beans n cheese!).
• This recipe doubles or triples beautifully if you're feeding a crowd.
• This recipe doesn't call for sugar, as I've found that using sugar in waffles makes them stick to the waffle iron. Without sugar they never stick (no need to grease the iron) and with the sweet flavor of whole grains you truly won't miss it. For pancakes you can add a tablespoon or two of sugar if you must.
• A teaspoon of vanilla in the batter makes them smell terrific as they bake but we don't notice much difference in the taste, so I save that for company :).
• I love my Hamilton Beach Flip 'n Fluff ($19 on amazon) and it makes 9 4" waffles with this recipe.

Steps:

• Stir honey& oil together in a bowl.
• Add milk& eggs& beat well.
• Mix dry ingredients into the liquids until flour is moistened.
