Ingredients

1 1/3 cups whole-wheat flour 325 mL
3 tbsp brown sugar 45 mL
1 tbsp baking powder 15 mL
1 tsp ground cinnamon 5 mL
1/4 tsp salt 1 mL
1 1/4 cups 2% milk 300 mL
1  egg, beaten 1 
3 tsp vegetable oil 45 mL
1/2 tsp vanilla 2 mL
  Vegetable oil (optional)  
     
  Strawberry Purée  
2 cups fresh strawberries or 1 pkg (10 oz/300 g) frozen unsweetened strawberries, thawed 500 mL
  Granulated sugar (optional)  

Instructions

Step 1
In a bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.

Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat together milk, egg, oil and vanilla. Add liquid ingredients to dry, mixing until almost smooth (disregard small lumps).

Step 3
Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat; brush with oil (optional for nonstick pans). For each pancake, pour 1⁄4 cup (50 mL) batter into skillet. When underside is brown and bubbles break on top (after 11⁄2 to 2 minutes), flip over and cook for 30 to 60 seconds or until second side is golden brown. Serve hot.

Step 4
Strawberry Purée: Wash fresh strawberries; remove hulls. In saucepan, cook fresh or thawed strawberries gently over low heat until softened; cool. In a food processor or blender, purée until smooth. Taste and add sugar, if desired. Serve warm over pancakes. Makes approximately 1 cup (250 mL).

Tips

These pancakes can be frozen by layering them between sheets of waxed paper. Freeze in packages of 2 or 4 to suit your needs.
