Ingredients

Directions

  • Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add cranberries; boil for 2 minutes. Drain and cool for 5 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg (if using) in a large bowl.

  • Whisk milk, egg substitute, oil and vanilla (if using) in a small bowl until combined.

  • Coarsely chop the cranberries; stir into the milk mixture. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined.

  • Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Using 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cook 2 pancakes at a time until bubbles dot the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned, 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Disappointing - overpoweringly tart. Maybe more sugar needed? A lot of ingredients (ie mess) without a commensurate reward. Read More

These were yummy. They had just a hint of cranberry flavor. I found that they lasted me through till lunch due to their heartiness. Great with real maple syrup! Rachel Concord NH Read More

Very easy weekend brunch Used a real egg instead of egg beater. (measured 2 TBSP) Also substituted apple sauce for the oil. I used 2 tsp instead of 1.5. It turned out very good. It was a rather tart pancake but good flavor. I didn't chop the cranberry like the recipe said but they were small enough without chopping. Pros: Easy to make Read More

These pancakes were DELICIOUS! I could see that the recipe probably wouldn't be big enough for us so I doubled it which worked out great. I opted for the nutmeg (over the vanilla extract) and added 1/8 t. cinnamon and 1 t. orange zest. Mmmmm! Anonymous WA Read More

Not nearly enough liquid. I used 1 1/4 C milk and also added 1 T of baking powder. The original will not work. Who writes a recipe like this? Some internet geek. Read More

Absolutely wonderful. First time I made these with a more coarse cornmeal second time used a much more fine cornmeal--which I preferred. Perfect for our Christmas breakfast! Kim Austin TX Read More

Absolutely the best way to use up those left over cranberries from the holiday. Perfect size recipe for two people who are trying to eat normal size servings. Joy St. Louis MO Read More

A little bland While I really liked the smaller portions I thought the pancakes could have used more flavor. Next time I might add some lemon zest and some more cranberries. Pros: Healthy Read More

I had a small amount of chopped pecans leftover so I decided to add them to the batter - I loved the crunchy texture it added to the pancakes. Overall great recipe. Deena Cornville AZ Read More
