RECIPE:

1 cup whole-wheat flour

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

2 medium eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup fresh blueberries

Peanut butter (no-sugar-added)

Combine all ingreients except for blueberries and pb, and whisk until just blended - mixture will still be lumpy. Let sit for a minute or to while you prepare the pan.

Drop a teaspoon of butter into a frying pan that has been warming over medium-high heat (I found this is the secret to get food not to stick - where have I been all these years when I didn't believe this hint?!).

When butter has melted (it won't take long), add batter. Top batter with a sprinkling of blueberries, and cover with a loose-fitting lid. Cook for 2-3 minnutes or until golden brown and slightly puffy; flip, and fry the other side another minute.

Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with - this is the good part - a tablespoon of peanut butter in between the pancakes. The warmth of the pancakes will turn it into a smooth, scrumptious sauce. No syrup - these are good without.

My reading (glucose level) was actually only 10 points higher 2 hours after I ate this than it was before I started, so they must've been low on the glycemic index scale! All that fiber and the peanut butter probably slowed things down a little, too.

 
Thank you for the recipe. Have you read the book "The Glycemic Index"? It's great should read it

 
BOOK: "The New Glucose Revolution", The Authoritative Guide to the Glycemic Index

I made a mistake on the book title, I had to get out my copy. I hope you get it because I find it helpful and use it a lot. smileys/smile.gif dianne
