Whole wheat German Pancake {made with egg whites}

This “healthier’ German Pancake is packed with natural protein from egg whites and increased fiber from whole wheat flour yet hasn’t lost the fluffy, buttery taste of an original German Pancake.

Why is it called the Dutch Baby or the German Pancake you ask? the answer is this…says google.…There is no data on why it was named so.

Now you can stop wondering.

The German/Dutch pancake is one of the easiest breakfasts known to mankind. It’s filling, it’s hearty, it’s made with eggs, it’s kid friendly because it is bready and can be topped with syrup or whipped cream and it’s like a pancake but BETTER because you don’t have the mess! Yay!

And to make it with half whole wheat flour and the extra protein from the egg whites? Incredible. And truly life changing.

INGREDIENTS needed:

• a blender (or a hand that can mix…but the blender is easiest
• flour – of course you can use all white, but it adds more texture and health benefits if you use half whole wheat)
• eggs – I use half egg whites (1 egg= 2 egg whites) to decrease the amount of fat and increase the amount of protein. HOWEVER, if you are low on eggs or want to use the entire egg then by all means! Use 6 eggs instead of what is below.
• milk- We usually only have unsweetened almond milk in our fridge so we use that. But of course, cow’s milk is great too
• vanilla.

Boom. So easy a husband could do it:)

In fact, Brady has adopted the German Pancake as his sunday morning breakfast meal. Mostly because I, his wife, cannot get out of bed, make breakfast AND get to church all in one day. So…he adapted!

Making this is as simple as 3 easy steps. (the last two don’t really count)

EASY STEPS below:

STEP #1- Preheat oven to 375 degrees

STEP #2- Mix all ingredients in blender. I use this one.

STEP #3- Either melt butter and pour in designated pan OR place butter in pan and place in oven to melt butter.

STEP #4 – Pour batter in pan

STEP #5- Bake for 20 min. or until puffy.

**DON’t BE SAD when your beautiful pancake falls in the middle. It always happens so take your picture quick!

Serve hot with berries and whipped cream! …another favorite way of ours is with Plain greek yogurt!

And best served with this Healthier brown buttermilk syrup…made in min:)
