Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large egg whites
- 2 low-fat turkey sausage patty
- 1 reduced-fat cheddar cheese slice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup almond milk
- 0.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 for greasing cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon maple extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
In a medium bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, maple extract, and the almond milk mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and thick.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat to make four pancakes.
While the pancakes cook, heat the turkey sausage patties in a separate pan or microwave according to package instructions until fully cooked.
In a non-stick skillet, spray with cooking spray and heat over medium. Pour in egg whites and cook for 3-4 minutes, folding them gently until firm but not dry.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing an egg white portion, a sausage patty, and half a slice of cheddar cheese between two pancakes.
Serve immediately, allowing the warmth of the pancakes to melt the cheese slightly for a delicious bite.
