Cinnamon Orange Pancakes

(6 servings) Printable Version

1 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup low-fat milk
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 large egg or egg substitute equivalent
2 Tablespoons Wheat germ
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon orange zest or finely grated peel
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches of salt
cooking spray

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the two flours with the wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg slightly. Add milk, orange juice and orange zest and mix well.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just mixed and moistened.

Prepare a griddle or large skillet at medium-high heat with a coating of cooking spray.

Dollop batter onto hot surface in 1/4 cup amounts to make individual pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to appear in the center of pancake. Flip and cook other side until golden brown.

These are great with a little "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" and orange marmalade. They're also very nice with traditional butter and maple syrup. Enjoy!

I switch the amounts of wheat flour and all-purpose flour and it makes a fluffier pancake without too much of whole wheat flavor. That's the only change I make and it's great.

The whole wheat flour overpowers the orange and the pancakes tasted tooo healthy! :(

I had to sprinkle in about two more heaping Tablespoons of flour at the end to get a good batter consistency. Other than that, good recipe.

Took advice about topping with orange marmalade and it was great. Question though... could I heat orange marmalade and then use it as a topping. That would be great if I could.

These were terrific, thanks! Fluffy and flavorful - I had them with Smart Balance and a pop of powdered sugar.

Just made some for myself, and they were brilliant! Even came out well without milk, but you should use less baking powder.

Made them for my boys, forgot the sugar, they loved them anyway - with butter and blue agave syrup.
