Whole-grain wheat buttermilk pancakes with applesauce

Whole-grain wheat buttermilk pancakes with applesauce are a healthy and delicious breakfast option that combines the nutty flavor of whole-grain wheat flour with the natural sweetness of applesauce. These pancakes are not only nutritious but also easy to make, making them a perfect choice for a quick and hearty morning meal.

Ingredients:

2 cups whole-grain wheat flour
240g
1/2 tsp baking soda
2.30g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/3 tbsp salt
6g
2 tsp sugar
8g
2 eggs
110g
2 cups dried milk
490g
4 tbsp applesauce
60g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-grain wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure that all the dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well-beaten.
- Add the dried milk and applesauce to the beaten eggs. Mix until the wet ingredients are well combined.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients, stirring gently. Make sure not to overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy.
4. Preheat and Grease Griddle/Skillet:
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
6. Serving:
- Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings such as additional applesauce, fresh fruit, maple syrup, or honey.

Tips:

- Ensure the batter is well-mixed but don't over-mix it; a few lumps are okay to avoid tough pancakes.

- Preheat your griddle or skillet properly to ensure even cooking and that the pancakes get a nice golden-brown color.

- Use a measuring cup to pour the batter onto the griddle to maintain consistent pancake sizes.

- Wait for bubbles to form on the surface of the pancake before flipping it to ensure it's properly cooked through.

- Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a single layer on a baking sheet in an oven set to 200°F (93°C) while you cook the rest of the batch.

- Feel free to add some extra ingredients like cinnamon, vanilla extract, or chopped nuts to the batter for added flavor and texture.

Enjoy your homemade whole-grain wheat buttermilk pancakes with applesauce, knowing that you've created a nutritious and delicious breakfast that fuels your day. Pair them with fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.
