Ingredients

  • 250 mL (1 cup) whole wheat flour
  • 125 mL (½ cup) all purpose flour
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp) granulated sugar
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) baking powder
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • 375 mL (1 ½ cups) skim milk
  • 1 egg
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) vanilla
  • 250 mL (1 cup) diced fresh strawberries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven at 120 °C (250 °F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, oil, and vanilla. Pour over flour mixture and stir to combine. Stir in strawberries.
  4. Lightly spray a non-stick pan or griddle with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Using a 60 mL (¼ cup) measuring cup, pour batter onto hot pan. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles start to appear on top. Flip over and cook for another minute or until light golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips

  • This is a fun recipe to make with kids. Little chefs can help mix up the pancake batter. Older kids can help cook the pancakes.
  • Switch it up by asking your family which favourite seasonal fruit they want instead of strawberries.
  • Make now and enjoy later. Layer pancakes between wax or parchment paper and freeze for up to 2 weeks. Place in the toaster or heat in microwave when ready to eat.
  • Mixing whole wheat flour with all purpose flour is an easy way to bump up the fibre in your recipes.
