Whole-Wheat Apple Pancakes

Whole-Wheat Apple Pancakes

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 3/4 cup nonfat milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 6 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 medium apple, diced
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole-wheat four
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 250. Put the apple in a microwave-safe bowl and tightly cover with plastic wrap; microwave on high until softened, about two minutes.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, nonfat milk, eggs and honey, then slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
3. Heat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spoon 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake and sprinkle each with apple, then drizzle a little more batter over the apple. Cook until the tops are bubbly and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown, 1 to 2 more minutes. Keep the pancakes warm on a baking sheet in the oven while making the rest.
4. Place two pancakes on each plate. Drizzle with the syrup.
