Healthy pancakes??

I love to retain the flavor and cut the saturated fat and cholesterol in recipes by adding olive oil as a substitute for butter. You can only imagine how excited I was when I found a recipe for olive oil pancakes the other day. Check it out: http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/olive-oil-pancakes-recipe


I made a few substitutes and additions to the recipe:
- King Arthur whole wheat flour
- orange zest (1/2 of a large orange)
- 1% milk instead of buttermilk (alas, the shelf-life is nonexistent)
- maple syrup instead of honey

The pancakes were amazing! The olive oil makes the edges crispy and brown and the whole wheat flour prevents the batter from becoming too runny, so they did not look like ink blot tests. They were fantastic. Light, fluffy, crispy and not too sweet. Perfect.
