Hearty Raspberry Pancakes

I’ve been on a creative pancake kick this year, it seems. I’ve gone beyond plain pancakes to make almond oat pancakes, cookie dough pancakes and whole wheat strawberry pancakes. And yesterday? Hearty raspberry pancakes.

When we were in Ohio last weekend, my uncle made us some amazing healthy pancakes. Inspired by this, I made up these hearty pancakes, filled with more black raspberries, ground flax seed, walnuts and whole wheat flour. This may be my favorite pancake recipe yet.

Hearty Raspberry Pancakes

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 2-3

Hearty Raspberry Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 cup low-fat milk
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 3/4 cup black raspberries (may substitute small red raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Chop the walnuts into a coarse meal.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, flax seed, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the vanilla, canola oil and milk, stirring until completely mixed together. Fold in the raspberries and walnuts.
  3. Preheat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles when it is flicked onto the skillet, you are ready to make some pancakes.
  4. Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. When the edges are set, flip the pancake and cook for another minute or two until both sides of the pancake are browned. Remove to a plate to partially cool, and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  5. Serve with syrup or preserves.

      I hadn’t either! They’re a lot less common, I think.

    My favorite pancake recipe changes every time I make pancakes (I’m a bit of an experimental chef). I can, however, authoritatively say my favorite pancake toppings are cinnamon apples and whipped cream. You recipe looks like a must try, though–so healthy and hearty!

    Hope you are feeling well (and getting some answers from the doctors)!

      I haven’t had cinnamon apples on top of pancakes. Hmmm…

    My favorite pancake recipe is this oatmeal-pecan version. http://www.whatwouldcathyeat.com/2010/06/oatmeal-pecan-pancakes/
    So…I might try your raspberry pancakes with some oat flour instead of one of the other flours, and see what happens!

      I can’t believe I forgot to add ground oats to this recipe! love them in pancakes!

    I could seriously eat pancakes every day. I’m boring though – I like basic pancakes with real maple syrup!

    Oh goodness, I think I have a problem with collecting pancake recipes…
    These look wonderful and nothing beats the combination of raspberries and pancakes in my mind :)
