Ingredients for Beat Your Chest Pancakes

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Canola Oil
  • Molasses
  • Unbleached Flour
  • Cornmeal
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • Wheat Germ
  • Bran Flakes
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Beat Your Chest Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, honey (or molasses), and milk until well combined.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach a smooth, pourable batter.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, extra honey, butter, or fresh fruit. Enjoy your powerhouse pancakes!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
