- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
10 pancakes
- Serves:
- 10
ingredients
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole wheat flour (I used whole grain pancake flour I found at Whole Foods, or you can use whole wheat pastry flour)
- 3 eggs
- 1 1⁄4 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1⁄4 cup artificial sweetener (I used Splenda)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (heaping)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons flax seeds, ground (I used golden) (optional)
directions
- I used an electric skillet, but you can also preheat non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Using whisk, combine all ingredients until just smooth.
- Pour approximately 1/4 c batter into skillet (form 5” circle).
- If using whole grain pancake flour, there won't be "bubbles" as in other pancakes, but when you see the edges set well, and lift from skillet (about 2-3 minutes), flip pancakes.
- Brown for another 1-2 minutes til done. May try a toothpick in the middle, as in a cake, because these whole grain pancakes will "brown" quicker and may not be done in the middle.
- **If using whole wheat pastry flour, your results will be more bubbles in the pancakes and browning will be less because of the flour and more from cooking time and temperature.

I love this recipe! I've been on the hunt for recipes that are tasty and diabetic friendly. I'm not a diabetic but I've been cooking for my sister who is. I made a few changes that make these pancakes float off your plate. First, I separated the eggs and beat the whites until stiff. While the whites are beating, I pulse the dry ingredients in the food processor. Then I mix the applesauce, egg yolks, and milk. I don't like artificial sweetners so I mix agave nectar into the milk mixture along with a little vanilla extract. I mix the wet and dry ingredients then fold in the egg whites I also heat my cast iron skillet while I do everything else. Finally, I make the silver dollar size pancakes. Soooo good.

I'm a married nurse, mom to our mini pin, Chuy, and no children. My husband and I both love to take short and long trips on our motorcycle and we love taking our 35ft travel trailer! We love cooking together and ever since hubby got a smoker for his birthday, we're enjoying wonderful smoked meats and veggies and even desserts! We love to crock pot cook and grilling is always preferred over indoor cooking.
