Pancakes are a staple in our house. This is a great recipe to get your kids introduced to whole grains. You could really put anything your kids like in then. I would suggest smashed bananas or apple sauce. I make them mini, just a tablespoon of batter per cake. They cook faster which is great when little hands are ready to snag then off the grill. I send pancakes in lunch boxes or take then in the car. Make sure every pancake gets a couple chips!
Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes
1 large egg
1 cup whole wheat or white wheat flour
3/4 cup milk
1 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP oil
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients until batter is smooth. Then drop one heaping TBSP per cake on a hot griddle or pan. Flip cakes when bubbles appear on top. Serve warm.
We do this too... that way we don't have to get after the kids about cutting up their pancakes (when eating them with syrup). And they love chocolate chip pancakes! My husband loves blueberry pancakes best, so I love a batter staple that I can add whatever to as they're cooking, based on whatever my picky eaters want. :)
