Healthy Whole Wheat Pancakes I love those cheap "just add water" pancakes mixes just as much as the next girl, probably MORE! That said, these pancakes actually don't take that much more time. They truthfully taste delicious, and they are healthy. Pancakes without the guilt, who knew?

Did I mention they keep you full about a million times longer than the processed box mix kind? Try them, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. My little girl who hates pancakes even loved these. Miracles do happen. :)

Total Time: About 5 minutes prep

Yield: About 8-10, 4 inch pancakes.

Source: Modified from a basic pancake recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tbsp granulated white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp cooking oil (+ more for cooking in the pan)

Steps:

In a large bowl, stir together your flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In another large bowl, whisk together your egg, milk, 2 Tbsp. cooking oil and vanilla.
Add your liquid mixture to your "dry" bowl. Stir just until combined.
Cook in the usual manner on a griddle or pan, well greased with additional oil. Make sure you have plenty of bubbles atop your pancake before flipping. :)
