These pancakes are not only nutritious but also easy to make, making them a perfect choice for a quick and hearty morning meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
- 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.
- 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.
