Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup oat flour
- 0.25 cup cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional)
- 1 as needed cooking spray (or butter) for greasing the pan
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, cornmeal, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then add the buttermilk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and melted butter (if using). Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
