Ingredients
- 150 grams whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 240 milliliters low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, mix the low-fat buttermilk, egg whites, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Step 4
Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 5
Pour 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Use a spoon to spread the batter into a circle approximately 8-10cm in diameter.
Step 6
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Step 7
Flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Step 9
Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit or a light yogurt.
