We are now owners of the well known "the Sneaky chef" book by Missy Chase Lapine We tried out the Chocolate Chip Pancakes today...delish AND with healthy ingredients. The kids didn't even know they got a huge dose of fiber! Regulartity always makes the day a little better.
It says it makes about 18 pancakes...but we make big ones so it did about 10.
Starting off we are to use one of the make-ahead mixes as called for in the book. In this case we use the Flour Blend.
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose unbleached white flour
1 cup wheat germ, unsweetened
On to the pancakers
3/4 c. Flour Blend
3/4 c. Flour Blend
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. blanched, slivered almonds, finley ground in the food processor
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce (or fresh grated apple) (let's get serious...there isn't anything unsweetened in my house...)
1/4 c. plain yogurt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 tbs. milk
1 large egg
2 tbs. honey or pure maple syrup
1/4 c. chocolate chips
1/4 c. fresh or frozen blueberries (Optional Extra Boost)
Butter or Cooking spray for greasing the skillet
Mike dry ingredients (you can triple the recipe and keep those in bags to have premade plancake mix on hand)
In another bowl whisk applesauce, yogurt, milk, egg, honey and blueberries (if using frozen no need to thaw them before adding, this will prevent bleeding).
Mix wet and dry ingredients. If too thick add a little more milk. Add chocolate chips and mix.
It's not a smooth texture because of the wheat germ but she cooks up nice a fluffy!
THANK YOU SNEAKY CHEF!! Lots of sneaky recipes if anyone wants to take a look!
Posted by : Jenn-yes I really did make something and it's not from Wendy's. I could go for a good diet coke though.

HEY-where did the cheesecake go? These pooners (that's what we call them in our house) look to die for. I've got another dinner meal for next week!
Oooh--sneaky indeed! Doug is afraid of real wheat, so perhaps I'll try the chocolate chip version of this.
You are a wise, wise woman.
