Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Servings: 4
Calories: 275kcal

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup toasted wheat germ
  • 2 tablespoon hemp hearts
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon orange zest (about 1 orange worth)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup skim milk (or milk of your choice)
  • 1 cup orange juice

Instructions

  • If you want, you can toast the wheat germ in a skillet over medium heat until the wheat germ begins to smell "nutty."
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole-wheat flour, the all-purpose flour, wheat germ, hemp hearts, sugar and baking powder.
  • In separate bowl, beat the egg and whisk in the milk and orange juice.
  • Pour the egg/milk/orange juice mixture into the bowl with the flour and stir until all the flour is mixed in.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and give it a light spritz with nonstick spray.
  • Fill a ¼-cup measuring cup with pancake batter and drop it on the hot skillet.
  • When the batter begins to bubble and turn solid at the edges, use a spatula to flip the pancake over to cook on the other side.
  • I used 2 skillets simultaneously to expedite the pancake cooking process. I can cook about 3 pancakes per skillet = 6 pancakes at a time with 2 skillets. My mom has a big electric griddle pan that she uses for pancakes.
