Healthy Low Fat Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes Recipes

THE ULTIMATE HEALTHY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, egg, and vanilla. Whisk in the buttermilk and maple syrup. Stir in the yogurt until no large lumps remain. Add in the flour mixture, and stir until just incorporated.
• Lightly coat a large pan or griddle with nonstick cooking spray, and preheat over low heat.
• Using 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, dollop onto the hot pan, and spread into a circular shape if desired. Let the pancakes cook for 2-3 minutes, or until a slight skin starts to form around the edges and the bottom is light golden brown. Slide a spatula underneath, and flip. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes or until light golden brown on both sides. Serve hot.

HEALTHY BUTTERMILK PANCAKES (HEALTHY PANCAKE RECIPE)

Steps:

• Measure out the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, mash the bananas very well (it's ok if they go a little bit liquidy...you don't want any large chunks). Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat with a fork until they're combined well.
• Measure the buttermilk into a separate liquid measuring cup and pour the buttermilk and the egg mixture into the flour mixture.
• Stir everything together carefully, making sure you don't over mix, until everything is combined.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
• Let the batter sit in the bowl for about 5-6 minutes before you start frying. This will allow the leavening agents (the baking powder and baking soda) time to begin their work and you'll start to see the batter start to rise slightly as air bubbles develop below the surface.
• Once the oil has heated for a few seconds, turn the heat down to medium-low heat and carefully ladle about 1/3 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake, trying to disturb the batter as little as possible. This will help the air bubbles stay intact as the pancake cooks and create a light and fluffy texture. This is especially important when using whole wheat flour because the wheat particles in the flour actually interfere with gluten development, making baked goods made with whole wheat flour denser and generally less fluffy than their all-purpose flour counterparts.
• Once you see the edges beginning to brown slightly and a few bubbles breaking the surface of the batter, flip the pancakes over. You can check the underside by lifting up the edge of one of the pancakes using a spatula; if the underside is brown, it's time to flip!
• Repeat this process until all your batter is gone. The number of pancakes you make will vary based on the size you choose and the pan you're using, but this recipe feeds our family of four with several pancakes left over for the next day (usually around a total of 12-16 pancakes).
• Serve the pancakes hot off the griddle with some fresh berries and maple syrup!

HEALTHY WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle or a large nonstick skillet to 350°F (or medium-low heat).
• In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Whisk until just combined, adding more buttermilk if needed to reach a thinner consistency.
• Pour batter by 1/4 cup onto griddle and cook until bubbles appear on the surface.
• Flip pancakes and cook until done in the center and the bottom is golden, about 1-2 more minutes.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve pancakes with maple syrup or other any other toppings you prefer.

WHOLE-GRAIN BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, oil, sugar and vanilla in a medium bowl. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and whisk just until combined. Resist overmixing--it will make the pancakes tough.
• Let the batter sit, without stirring, for 10 to 15 minutes. As the batter rests, the baking powder forms bubbles that create fluffy pancakes and the gluten in the flour relaxes to make them more tender.
• Coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Without stirring the batter, measure out pancakes using about 1/4 cup batter per pancake and pour into the pan (or onto the griddle). Cook until the edges are dry and you see bubbles on the surface, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter, coating the pan with cooking spray and reducing the heat as needed.

WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

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.

100% WHOLE WHEAT LOW FAT PANCAKES

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.
