Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes – LOW GI Recipe

March 6, 2009 by Mary

Ingredients:

2 large apples, such as Jonathan or Granny Smith, peeled, if desired, and finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons of sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 slightly beaten egg
1 1/2 cups of milk
3 tablespoons of cooking oil or melted butter
Cooking oil (optional)
Unsweetened applesauce (optional)

Instructions:

Combine the apples and lemon juice into one bowl.

Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in another bowl.

In a third bowl beat egg lightly with milk and oil. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir. You want the batter to be lumpy so make sure you don’t over mix.

Fold in the apples. Heat griddle or skillet. Drop batter by spoonfuls and cook pancakes as you usually would. Watch for edges to be set and start to brown, then flip.

Serve topped with apple sauce or more apple slices instead of syrup.

For a different flavor, you could try swapping out the apples and using pears instead. They are just as tasty!
