Friends and family will flip over these light whole wheat pancakes with a sunny twist of citrus. Earl Brunner of Las Vegas, Nevada adapted them from a traditional pancake recipe. "Feel free to mix raisins or dried cranberries into the batter to add a bit of chewy sweetness," he recommends.

Ingredients

3 egg whites
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 teaspoon orange extract
1-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange marmalade

Directions

In a blender, combine the first four ingredients. Cover and process until smooth. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; make a well. Add orange juice mixture; stir just until moistened.
Pour batter by 2 tablespoonfuls onto a hot griddle coated with cooking spray. Turn when bubbles form on top of pancake; cook until second side is golden brown. Serve with marmalade.
