Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

These are so good... and so good for you!
(No, I am not a food stylist... and didn't want to waste much time snapping a pic while Bill's pancake was nice and hot)

(This particular pancake was made right after one I had sliced bananas into the batter, thus the round(ish) spots on the pancake)

WHOLE WHEAT BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbs. sugar (still yummy with only 2 Tbs.)
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1 Tbs. coconut oil, melted (can use canola)
1 large egg
1 large egg white
Cooking spray

Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine buttermilk, coconut oil, egg, and egg white; stir with a whisk. Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring just until moist.

Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet (OR A CAST IRON SKILLET) over medium heat; coat with cooking spray. Spoon batter onto griddle; turn when edges look cooked and tops are covered with bubbles. Serve with butter and syrup (AND HOMEMADE RASPBERRY JAM).

The cast iron skillet. This is a sad little misshapen pancake... probably the end of the batter in the bowl. But still so yummy!

Note: I LOVE to cut up a banana on the top of the uncooked side of a pancake just before flipping to the other side. Seriously so so good.
