How to Make Vegetarian Diabetic Low Fat Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. Preheat your griddle or frying pan to medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar substitute (e.g., stevia or erythritol), 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, sliced bananas, a dollop of unsweetened applesauce, or a sugar-free syrup.
