Low-Fat Whole Wheat Pancakes

// August 19th, 2010 // Cooking, Life in General

Several days ago, I gave you a recipe for Low Fat Whole Wheat Waffles and promised you a similar recipe for pancakes.  Well, here it is!  These pancakes aren’t as good as the waffles, but they are still good.  One batch made 14 pancakes at 93 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 16 grams of carbohydrate, and 4 grams of protein.  These make very dense pancakes, so if they are too much for you, you could make them with half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.  Here’s the recipe:

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, well beaten
2 cups skim milk
2 tablespoons applesauce

Mix, pour by 1/4 cupful into your skillet, and cook like pancakes.  I’ll be honest, I didn’t beat the eggs ahead of time, and the world didn’t end.  These are so hearty that Bear ate about a third of one–that just means they’ll last longer!  I’m flash freezing the remaining pancakes as we speak, and when they are frozen, I’m dumping them in a gallon ziploc bag in the freezer for quick breakfasts.

If you try this, let me know what you think.
