Light and fluffy canadian-style whole-grain pancakes

Canadian-style whole-grain pancakes are a delightful and nutritious way to start your morning. Using whole-grain wheat flour not only adds a wholesome texture but also increases the fiber content, making for a more satisfying meal. These light and fluffy pancakes are easy to prepare and perfect for a health-conscious breakfast that doesn't compromise on flavor.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
1 tbsp baking powder
16g
1 cup milk (2% fat)
240g
3 eggs
150g
1 tsp vanilla extract
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-grain wheat flour and baking powder. Use a whisk to ensure they are evenly mixed and free of lumps.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk thoroughly to create a smooth mixture.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet mixture into the well. Gently stir the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
4. Rest the Batter:
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to start working and will result in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
5. Preheat Griddle or Pan:
- While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle or pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, butter, or yogurt.

Tips:

- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes before cooking.

- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for even cooking and easier flipping.

- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning the exterior.

- Add fruits, nuts, or seeds to the batter for added flavor and nutrition.

- Serve with pure maple syrup for an authentic Canadian touch.

By following this simple recipe, you can enjoy a stack of light, fluffy, and nutritious whole-grain pancakes that are as delicious as they are healthy. With these tips and the right ingredients, you'll find that cooking these Canadian-style pancakes is a breeze. Enjoy them fresh off the griddle with your favorite toppings and savor the wholesome goodness in every bite.
