Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat and all-purpose flours, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
Step 2

In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, butter and vanilla. Pour over flour mixture along with apple and carrot and stir until combined.
Step 3

Spray large nonstick skillet or griddle with some cooking spray and place over medium high heat. Pour batter using 50 mL (1/4 cup) measure and spread out slightly to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles begin to appear on top, about 3 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove to plate and repeat with remaining batter.

Tips

If you want to add extra apples to your pancakes use this easy Cinnamon apple topping. In a nonstick skillet, melt 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter over medium heat. Add 2 large apples, cored and sliced with 1 tsp (5 mL) ground cinnamon; cover and cook for about 3 minutes. Uncover and cook until tender but firm; keep warm.
