Whole Grain Strawberry Pancakes Recipes

WHOLE-GRAIN STRAWBERRY PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat griddle 12-inch skillet to 375°F or over medium-high heat. If necessary, grease with canola oil (or spray with cooking spray before heating).
• In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. In medium bowl, beat eggs, 2/3 cup vanilla yogurt, the water and oil with wire whisk until well blended. Pour egg mixture all at once into flour mixture; stir until moistened.
• For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter from cup or pitcher onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly on top, puffed and dry around edges. Turn; cook other sides 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown.
• Place 2 pancakes on each individual serving plate. Top each with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1 to 2 tablespoons strawberry yogurt.

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.

HEART-SHAPED WHOLE-WHEAT PANCAKES WITH STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium-low flame.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt). In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, non-fat milk, honey and vanilla.
• Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy.
• Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to ladle the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancake when the top is bubbling and it is golden brown on the bottom. Then cook until the other side is golden brown. Hold on an oven proof plate in the oven until the entire batch is ready. When all the pancakes are ready, cut them into heart shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place pancakes on top and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if using.
• Puree strawberries to a chunky puree. Heat them in a small saucepan over a low flame, until they are just warm. Stir in lemon juice and maple syrup.
