wholemeal pancake recipe??

rachibear

I have started a diet and heard that wholemeal pancakes are a lot healthier than regular ones made with white flour. Can anyone tell me if this is true and suggest a recipe for this as i have seen a few recipes using coarse or very coarse wholemeal....any quick and easy recipes out there? Thanks in advance

If you were looking for a healthy pancake, I'd be more inclined to skip the wholemeal completely and make an oat pancake instead. You can throw your oats into the blender to make them more flour-like and then use like ordinary flour.

thanks eileen, do you know if they are higher in nutritional value than normal pancakes and if they are less fattening...thats my main goal with this at the moment. Just finding alternative healthy ways to make the food i normally eat

It would be better nutrition. Or if you have some, you could use whey to make some very high protein pancakes.

Overall, pancakes are not the ideal food if you are trying to cut back on calories. They pack quite a lot of cals for the amount of food you get.

Oatmeal pancakes keep me full forever!

I use one esspresso cup oatmeal (sorry, dont remember the grams)
2 egg whites
esspresso cup of low fat cottage cheese
vanila
cinnamon

in the blender, then none stick pan 2 minutes each side

this is the most filling breakfast I know - and keeps me full for hours
caloreis about 170. I eat it with mash fruit and drop of vanila. (another 70 calories).

+1 on the oats instead of wholemeal flour. Tried wholemeal flour pancakes once. Never again. Dreadful stuff.
