Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes (LOW GI)

Ingredients:

2 large cooking apples, such as Jonathan or Granny Smith, peeled, if desired, and finely chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 slightly beaten egg

1 1/2 cups milk

3 tablespoons cooking oil or melted butter Cooking oil (optional)

Unsweetened applesauce (optional)

Instructions:

Combine apples and lemon juice in one bowl. In another bowl mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinammon and salt. In a third bowl beat egg lightly with milk and oil. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir. You want the batter to be lumpy so be careful not to overmix. Fold in the apples. Heat griddle or skillet. Drop batter by spoonfuls and cook pancakes as you usually would. Watch for edges to be set and start to brown, then flip. Serve topped with apple sauce or more apple slices instead of syrup.

Try swapping out the apples and using pears instead for a different flavor!
