Using a mix of white and whole wheat flour keeps these pancakes light and healthy. Serve them with maple syrup and your favorite fruit.

| 3/4 cup whole wheat flour | 2 large eggs, separated | |
| 3/4 cup all-purpose flour | 3 tablespoons canola oil | |
| 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder | 1 cup buttermilk | |
| 3/4 teaspoon salt | Cooking spray | |
| 2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, oil, and buttermilk. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet, being careful not to overmix. Set the mixture aside.
In a medium bowl, whip the egg whites with a handheld mixer till they hold soft peaks. Fold the egg whites into the pancake mixture.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. When hot, coat with cooking spray.
Using ¼ measuring cup, pour batter onto griddle and cook. Once bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look dry, flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes and remove from griddle. Continue making pancakes with the remaining batter.
