Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup lowfat buttermilk
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Strawberry sauce, recipe follows
Confectioners' sugar, optional

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour through salt). In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, nonfat milk, buttermilk, honey and vanilla.

Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium-low flame. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. The batter will be somewhat lumpy. Use a 1/3 cup measuring cup pour the batter onto the griddle or skillet. Flip the pancake when the top is bubbling and it is golden brown on the bottom. Then cook until the other side is golden brown. Hold on an oven proof plate in the oven until the entire batch is ready. When all the pancakes are ready, cut them into heart shapes with a heart shaped cookie cutter. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the strawberry sauce onto each plate, place pancakes on top and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if using.

Strawberry Sauce:

16 ounces strawberries, fresh or frozen (unsweetened, thawed)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons maple syrup

Puree strawberries in to a chunky puree. Heat them in a small saucepan over a low flame, until they are just warm. Stir in lemon juice and maple syrup.

Yield: 4 servings, serving size about 1/3 cup

Soooo Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I are trying to eat healthier. My husband was apprehensive of these because he doesn't like change but we... both loved it! The pancakes were much more flavorful than the ones out of the box. Next time we're going to try a banana puree.Read more

Amazing!

I didn't make the strawberry sauce, but made the pancakes by themselves. The texture is incredible-my husband didn't believe... they were low fat! Try them- you'll be glad you did!Read more

Easy and delicious

I had actually never made pancakes before and this was very easy and good. I used 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all... purpose white flour and it came out well. I had no problems with lumps either. Read more

Greatest pancakes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love these pancakes! I always make a big batch and freeze them between parchement paper. The strawberry sauce is great but... not needed. I never have buttermilk so I just mix skim milk and lemon juice and let the acid curdle it a few minutes. I make them for my dad. He is finicky about "health food stuff" and he even liked them!Read more

Best Pancakes Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are by far the best pancakes I've ever had! Definitely better than any restaurant pancakes, and they're healthier too!... Recipe was easy to make, nothing confusing or complicated. Most of the ingredients I had around the house (except for the buttermilk). Great texture, fluffy, light, great flavor. Oh, but make sure you butter the pan first...I didn't and they stuck the first round. Definitely will make many more.Read more
