  • 310 mL (1 ¼ cups) lower fat milk or unsweetened fortified plant-based beverage
  • 4 eggs
  • 5 mL (1 tsp) vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 °C (475 °F).
  2. In a blender, place whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, vanilla, and honey. Blend on high until smooth. 
  3. In a 28x33 cm (11x13 inch) baking dish, put margarine and oil and place into pre-heated oven for 3 minutes, until margarine is melted.
  4. Carefully and quickly, remove the hot baking dish from the oven and pour batter into the hot dish. Scatter top with berries and return to the oven immediately. 
  5. Bake for 20 minutes or until the batter is puffed and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Tips

  • Decorating the pancake can be fun for the whole family! Experiment with different toppings such as Greek yogurt, granola, fruit and nut or seed butter. 
  • Instead of berries, add dried herbs to the blender with the batter. You can also sprinkle cheese on top when baked and return to the oven to melt for 1 minute.
