Recipe: Healthy Mediterranean Pancake
Summary: This Mediterranean Pancake recipe is a healthy alternative to traditional pancakes. It uses whole wheat flour, which adds more fiber, and minimally processed raw cane sugar. It uses soy milk and olive oil, in place of milk and butter, and contains no eggs, significantly reducing the saturated fat and adding healthy monounsaturated fat.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon raw cane sugar (Optional)
- 1 1/4 cups soy milk
- 1/4 cup applesauce, mashed banana, or a mixture of both
- 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and raw cane sugar. Make a well in the center and set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the soy milk, applesauce or banana, and olive oil and mix well.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter may have lumps.
- Spray a griddle or frying pan with cooking spray or oil and heat over medium high heat. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake.
- Cook until edges look dry and bubbles appear on the surface.
- Flip over and cook until browned.
- Serve hot, with fruit topping.
