This healthy whole-grain buttermilk pancake recipe uses 100% whole-wheat flour, heart-healthy canola oil and just a tablespoon of sugar. Compared to most store-bought mixes or a classic recipe, this recipe saves about 30 calories, 3 grams saturated fat and 4 grams total sugar per serving, plus you'll dish up 2 extra grams of fiber. If you want to experiment with different types of whole grains, replace up to 1/2 cup of the whole-wheat flour with cornmeal, oats and/or buckwheat flour. Or add extra fiber and omega-3s by adding up to 3 tablespoons of ground flaxseed or chia seeds.
1 ½ cups white whole-wheat flour (see Tips)
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 ½ cups buttermilk (see Tips)
2 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
