I have always made my pancakes from scratch. I’ve tinkered with the recipe over the years and have a relatively healthy one in its current incarnation. Except for the chocolate chips. Heh. Now everyone knows that I am a Lazy Cook and I’m sure are wondering how the heck making pancakes from scratch is being lazy. It’s not in the making, it’s how many I make. And freeze. And defrost when my kids refuse to eat anything before school. I loved chocolate chip pancakes as a kid and my kids adore them, but now the thought sort of turns my stomach. At least they’re eating.
So here it is: Chocolate Chip pancakes 2010
Makes about 24 pancakes
Dry Ingredients:
1 cup of all purpose flour
1 cup of whole wheat flour
3 tablespoons of ground flax seed (I started adding this as a postcancer thing. Supposed to be good for keeping it away.)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients:
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 cups 1 percent milk
1/2 cup applesauce (I used blueberry applesauce today)
2 eggs
1/4 cup agave (I’m guessing. I just sort of squirted some in.)
3 tablespoons canola oil (this can be omitted but I think it helps hold the pancakes together better)
Blend dry ingredients with a whisk in a big bowl. Using the same whisk, beat wet ingredients into another bowl (I hate washing more than one whisk.) Dump wet into dry and whisk together. Pour on a hot griddle ( I can fit 6 on my stove griddle) and artistically place chocolate chips onto the pancakes in an aesthetically pleasing way. Or just sprinkle them on like I do. It’s time to flip when the batter starts to look a bit waxy and the bubbles don’t disappear when they pop.
