Healthy Pancakes

I have always loved pancakes, however the time I went totally gaga was after having them at IHOP while in the US. After that I tried making them at home & found out that this happens to be the easiest thing to make for breakfasts. Ever since most of my Saturdays have been pancake mornings (shows you how lazy I have been). Easy to make, simple, delicious, healthy and filling – my pancakes are usually accompanied with some sausage and orange juice. You can also substitute the whole wheat flour with all- purpose flour.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ Cup Whole Wheat Four
• 2 eggs
• 1 Cup Milk
• 3 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon powder (optional)
• 1 tsp. Baking powder
• 1 tbsp. Melted butter
• ¼ cup chopped bananas/ apples
• Water as required

In a bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon powder and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

Add the eggs, melted butter and milk and whisk nicely. Add the fruits and add water if required. It should be a thick batter, but not loose.

In a non- stick pan, add a pinch of butter/ veg oil. On a medium flame, laddle the batter into the centre of the pan. You don’t have to spread the batter (like dosa and all). Cook for about 2 minutes and flip it. You just need brown patches on them. These pan cakes cook pretty fast.

Serve them hot with maple syrup/cranberry sauce/strawberry sauce. Yummmyyyy!!!!
