Stephen and I made these last Sunday before church and we LOVED them. I remember eating those oatmeal pancakes at home and not loving them because they were too thin; I don't love thin pancakes. But I thought these were awesome. My recipe adjustments: I didn't have flax meal (whatever that is) so I didn't add it. I did add about, I dunno, I didn't measure, but about 1/2 to 3/4 cup uncooked rolled oats. I really like how the oats make it chewy :) Also I didn't have enough buttermilk so I just used a cup buttermilk and 1/4 cup milk. Oh, and I didn't add cinnamon cuz I didn't feel like it. We topped the pancakes with fresh strawberries and a little whipped cream. They were so good! Stephen doesn't usually like pancakes but he loved these.
Here it is:
Whole Wheat Pancakes
1 egg (or 2 egg whites) lightly beaten
1/8 Cup canola oil
1 ¼ Cup low-fat buttermilk*
1 Cup whole wheat flour
1 Tbs flax meal (you can use flax seeds if more convenient)
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Dash cinnamon (optional)
Combine flour, flax meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). In a separate bowl, mix eggs with oil and buttermilk. Turn on stove/griddle to medium heat. Now add wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined.
Using a measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup batter onto the pan and cook over medium to medium-high heat.** Brown lightly on both sides, turning once. The pancake will set, poof up a little, and start showing tiny bubbles when it's ready to be flipped. After some practice, you'll "just know" when it's ready.
*If you don't have buttermilk, here's a good substitute: add 1 Tbs vinegar to a liquid measuring cup. Add milk so that the final measurement comes out to 1 ¼ cup. OR, if you don't have vinegar, no worries; just use milk.

Alainna- I am glad that you cook like me- a little change here and there, maybe you measure, maybe you don't.
ReplyDeleteOne change to your * if you don't do buttermilk or sour milk you need to use 1 TBSP of baking powder instead of soda. Otherwise you will have a heavy soda taste in your cakes.
Flax seed meal is flax seeds ground up. I bought a small electric coffee grinder that I use to grind up my flax seed. The meal is much better than simply the seeds. The seeds do not digest, so they just go right through you. But you usually don't grind them up until you are ready to use them.
