Whole Wheat Pancakes

Whole wheat flour and omega-3 enriched eggs turn pancakes from a forbidden decadence to a healthy diet staple. Cinnamon and flaxseed provide a sweet, comforting flavor and texture.

Serves: 6  Prep: 10min Cook: 4min Total: 14min

• 1 cup white whole wheat flour (such as king arthur) or whole wheat pastry flour
• 6 tablespoons buttermilk powder (such as saco)
• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1 omega-3-enriched egg
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine the flour, buttermilk powder, flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix in another mixing bowl. Beat the egg with a fork or whisk. Whisk in the water and oil. Add the flour mixture. Whisk just until combined. Do not beat. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
2. Heat a griddle over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and coat the griddle with cooking spray. Turn the heat back on to medium-high. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle to make each pancake. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until the bottoms are browned and bubbles form on the top, adjusting the heat as needed. Flip and cook for about 2 minutes or until cooked through. Reduce the heat if the bottoms are browning too fast. Repeat until all the pancakes are cooked. Serve right away or place on a rack to cool for freezing.

Strawberry Lime Yogurt Popsicles (makes 10 popsicles, 3 oz. each)  :)

Ingredients:

3 cups quartered strawberries
1/4 cup sugar (adjust based on how sweet your strawberries are)
juice of 1 large lime (2-3 tbsp)
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt

Directions:

1. Place sliced strawberries and sugar in a ziploc bag. Using your hands, mash until the strawberries are mostly liquid. If you prefer a completely smooth texture, blend instead.
2. Transfer to a bowl and mix in lime juice.
3. Add yogurt and mix. (I stir it very gently, keeping a marbled look so that each bite has variety.)
4. Taste. Add a little sugar if too tart, or a little more yogurt if too sweet.
5. Fill the popsicle mold. Freeze until set (for me, it took about 4 hours). Briefly run the mold under hot water to loosen the popsicles.

Good to know—those annoying stickers on fruits and veggies tell you A LOT! 4 numbers mean they were conventionally grown, 5 numbers starting with number 8 means they are genetically modified (GMO), and 5 numbers starting with 9 means they were organically grown (no pesticides or GMOs)
