Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons toasted wheat germ
• 1 cup nonfat buttermilk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• Cooking spray
• Sugar-free maple syrup (optional)
• Fresh fruit slices (optional)

Preparation

Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl; make a well in centre of mixture. Combine buttermilk and next 3 ingredients. Add buttermilk mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Heat a nonstick griddle or nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle, spreading to a 5-inch circle. Cook pancakes until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked; turn pancakes, and cook other side.
Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit, if desired (syrup and fruit not included in analysis).
Tip: One tablespoon of sugar-free maple syrup has 8 calories and 3 grams of carbohydrate.
