Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Granulated stevia or similar sweetener
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat buttermilk, egg whites, vanilla extract, and stevia or sweetener until the mixture is smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should still have a few small lumps.
Lightly grease a non-stick skillet or griddle with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread the batter slightly into a circle if necessary.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the underside.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly between batches if needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of diabetic-friendly toppings such as fresh berries, a dollop of Greek yogurt, or a drizzle of sugar-free syrup.
