Whole Grain Pancakes With Fresh Fruit Recipes

FRUIT-TOPPED WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flours, baking powder, and salt in large bowl. Beat milk, eggs, and 2 tablespoons melted Country Crock® Spread in medium bowl with wire whisk. Slowly whisk milk mixture into flour mixture just until combined; set aside.
• Melt 1 tablespoon Country Crock® in skillet, then drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls. Cook pancakes, turning once, until done. Repeat with remaining batter adding additional Spread to the skillet as needed. Serve pancakes topped with additional Spread, fresh fruit, and maple syrup.

WHOLE-GRAIN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, cornmeal, oats, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a medium bowl, mix together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and honey. Mix the egg mixture into the flour mixture until smooth.
• Heat a griddle or large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Check to see if it's hot by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. They should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
• Add a little butter to the pan and let it melt. Pour about 1/3 cup batter onto skillet; repeat to cook as many at one time as you can, leaving space for each pancake to spread.
• Cook until bubbles form and start to burst, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate as they finish, and serve immediately with maple syrup and more butter on top, if you like.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES

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.

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking powder and almonds.
• Whisk together the honey, milk and oil.
• Beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff but not dry.
• Add milk mixture to the flour, stir gently to form a batter - do not beat or over mix.
• Fold in the beaten egg whites gently.
• Let it rest for a few minutes.
• While it is resting combine your berries and banana with the Splenda. Refrigerate the fruit until ready to serve.
• Ladle your batter by spoonfuls onto a non stick skillet over medium heat, when bubbles start to form on one side flip and cook the underside.
• Remove and keep warm in the oven until all the pancakes are cooked.
• Serve the pancakes with the fruit on top with a generous topping of Mascarpone or whipped cream.

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH FRESH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together into a large bowl. Make a well in the center. Pour milk, egg, and melted butter into the well; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat. Working in batches, pour or scoop 1/4 cupfuls batter onto the hot surface and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Serve with fresh strawberries.

GREAT WHOLE WHEAT (FRESHLY MILLED) PANCAKES

Steps:

• In one bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• In another bowl mix wet ingredients.
• Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
• Cook's note: I usually "jumpstart" the heat by heating the stovetop griddle on high for about 5 minutes. Then I turn the heat down to 4 (just under medium) while I finish preparation. Then I lightly butter the grill with a cold butter stick on each section where I put pancake batter. I use 1/2 cup scoops for batter (for practicality in serving a large family). I usually bake them 2 to 2 1/2 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second side. The recipe make 8 large pancakes (1/2 cup batter) or 16 small pancakes (1/4 cup batter).
