Steps
Whole wheat pancakes made with grains and nuts are not only delicious but also nutritious. Here's how to make them!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter, plus extra for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, chopped almonds, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Add to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Melt some butter in the pan.
4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter into the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
5. Serve your whole wheat pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Tips:
- You can substitute rolled oats with quinoa or buckwheat for a different texture and flavor.
- For an extra boost of protein, add some chia seeds or flaxseeds to the batter.
- If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use a combination of all-purpose flour and wheat germ.
- Don't overcook your pancakes! They should be tender and moist on the inside.
