Yield:
12 Pancakes
Serving Size:
1 Pancake
Calories:
72 cal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon and 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/3 cups low-fat or nonfat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Take 1 tablespoon flour and toss with blueberries and set aside (prevents color from running). Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk, egg substitute, and oil; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in blueberries.
- For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto a hot griddle or skillet coated with cooking spray. Turn pancakes when tops are bubbly and edges look cooked.
- Note: You can cut cholesterol and fat from your diet by using a commercial egg substitute instead of whole eggs. Egg whites are the main ingredient in most egg substitutes. Sodium, preservatives, and sometimes oil are added so that the product will taste and perform like whole eggs. When modifying your own recipes, use 1/4 cup egg substitute for each whole egg.
