Description

These Cinnamon Orange Pancakes offer a healthier twist on a classic breakfast staple by combining whole wheat flour with fresh orange juice and zest. The result is a tender, slightly nutty pancake that is moist and fragrant. The natural sweetness of the orange pairs beautifully with the warm aroma of ground cinnamon, creating a comforting flavor profile without excessive added sugar. Using skim milk and minimal oil keeps the dish light and nutritious, making it an excellent choice for a balanced morning meal. Perfect for weekend brunches or a quick, wholesome weekday breakfast, these pancakes are easy to whip up and sure to satisfy your craving for something sweet and savory all at once.

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.
