Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground all-spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored & chopped
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon canola oil
- 1–2 cups milk, any kind
- Pad of butter for greasing cooking pan
Instructions
-
Preheat a griddle to 250 degrees F or place a large non-stick skillet over medium low heat.
-
While griddle preheats, add flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt and spices to a large mixing bowl, whisking to combine.
-
To a food processor or blender, add egg, diced pear and canola oil, processing until smooth.
-
Add blended egg and pear mixture to the dry ingredients and slowly stream in milk, mixing after every 1/4 cup addition, until you’ve reached your desired consistency.
-
Grease the griddle or non-stick skillet with a small pad of butter. Add 1/4 – 1/3 cup batter to the hot griddle or pan and cook for 2-3 minutes (or until bubbles begin to form around the edges) then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat until all batter has been used.
-
Top pancakes with butter and syrup or serve with yogurt & additional sliced pear.
Notes
