Ingredients

3/4 cup Flour
1 cup Whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 cup Skim milk

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.
