Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups whole grain sprouted wheat flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1⁄4 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups fresh strawberries, diced
- non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
If you will be making the pancakes in a few batches, preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can keep the pancakes warm in the oven until you have finished making all of them.
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the flour mixture well.
In a separate bowl, (medium bowl) beat the eggs with a wire whisk. Stir in the honey, milk, canola oil and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently whisk them together, mixing just until combined.
Stir in the strawberries.
Spray a griddle or a large skillet with non stick cooking spray. Heat griddle over medium heat.
Pour ⅓ cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook until the top of each pancake is speckled with bubbles and some bubbles have popped open, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, turn the pancakes over and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree oven while you finish cooking the rest of the pancakes.
Serve the pancakes with roasted strawberries or maple syrup.
