Picture Perfect Somewhat-Healthy Pancakes



At least I tell myself they are somewhat healthy.  haha


Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp raw sugar
2 eggs
2 cups almond milk
4 tbsp cooking oil  (I've successfully used coconut before, but don't like the flavour of coconut, so it has to be one that doesn't TASTE like coconut for me)
Optional:  about 1 cup of some sort of fruit, either diced really small (like an apple, or something small like wild blueberries), or mashed/pureed (like banana or babyfood of some sort)

Directions
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.   In a separate, smaller bowl, mix the eggs, milk, and oil.   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just blended.   Fold in the fruit pieces or puree.   Warm up a griddle until it is hot enough that water sizzles when you drip a little bit on it.   Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, spoon batter onto the hot griddle.   When the pancake has formed "bubbles" evenly across the batter, flip onto the other side.   Once browned lightly, remove and eat!   This recipe will make about 24 pancakes, using a 1/4 cup of batter for each one.    We like to top it with natural peanut butter and maple syrup for a breakfast that's yummy AND will keep your tummy full all morning!  Enjoy!
