Whole Wheat Harvest Pancakes Made with Love

01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon brown sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon baking soda ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon ground ginger 1 dash ground nutmeg 2 cups 2% milk 2 eggs ½ banana, mashed 2 tablespoons vegetable oil ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 apple, finely chopped

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, mashed banana, oil, and vanilla extract, then beat them together until the mixture is nice and frothy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and gently stir just until everything is combined—don’t worry if there are a few lumps left. Fold in the chopped apple, then let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium heat, aiming for around 350 to 375°F. When it’s hot, scoop about 1/3 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles forming around the edges and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another couple of minutes, until the other side is golden brown. Keep going until you’ve used all the batter, and enjoy!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use fresh whole wheat flour for the best texture and flavor.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to help the pancakes rise better.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through evenly.

Serving ideas

Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey and a handful of fresh berries or sliced bananas. A dollop of Greek yogurt or nut butter adds extra creaminess and protein. These pancakes also pair well with a side of crispy bacon or a warm cup of coffee.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster or a skillet over low heat to keep them soft and delicious. For longer storage, freeze the pancakes separated by parchment paper and thaw as needed.
