Whole wheat pancakes with mashed berries

Another Whitney original!

Whole wheat pancakes with mashed berries:

Makes 10 pancakes

  • 1 1/4 C whole wheat flour
  • 2 t baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 C milk, 1%
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1 1/2 t cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 T sugar
  • 1 1/2 t vanilla
  • 2 C frozen berries, thawed and mashed
Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk until blended. Mix in the egg, milk and vanilla and stir until combined. Cook on a griddle at medium heat (about 350 degrees). Serve topped with the mashed berries. 

FYI, the nutritional info below is calculated on a per-pancake basis. I wanted to know how many calories each pancake was giving me, rather than a tricky division of portions. The second set of nutrition facts is for the pancakes AND the berries, combined. With the topping, each pancake only sets you back ~100 calories. Awesome! 

I would love some ideas for adding more fiber to the pancake batter. Feel free to leave comments with suggestions any time! I'm always looking for healthy, delicious tweaks to recipes.

  1. I like adding flax seed meal to pancakes (or pretty much any bread) to add some extra fiber. Its also great in oatmeal

    1. Good idea! I didn't even think of flax seed. I'll try that next time!
