Ingredients

Pancakes

  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
  • 1⁄2 cup wheat germ
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar
  • 1 1⁄4 tsp baking powder
  • 1⁄4 tsp baking soda
  • 1⁄4 tsp salt
  • 1 1⁄4 cups buttermilk
  • 1⁄4 cup canola oil
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • Oil for pan
  • 2 cups sliced bananas, berries, or raisins

Sauce

  • 1 pt blueberries or other berries, washed and dried
  • 1⁄4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cups low-fat vanilla yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix buttermilk, oil, and egg yolks in a cup. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Mix the yolk mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened and then fold in the whites.
  2. Heat a nonstick (cast iron) skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot. Lightly oil it and then drop one-third cup portions of batter onto the pan, spreading a bit if thick. Drop in fruits and press them down with the edge of a spatula. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook pancakes until bubbly. Flip them over and finish for a couple of minutes. Transfer to an oven-safe platter and hold in the oven until all the pancakes are done.
  3. For the sauce, mix the fruit, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a boil. Remove from heat and add yogurt. Sauce will thicken as it stands. Serve pancakes topped with yogurt and berry sauce.
