Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, combine the skim milk, fresh orange juice, egg substitute, and grated orange zest. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or spoon just until the batter is moistened. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat with vegetable oil spray.
  5. Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set and dry.
  7. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the second side.
  8. Remove from heat and serve immediately while hot.
