WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH VANILLA PEACHES

WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES WITH VANILLA PEACHES
We thought the pancakes were okay.  We LOVED the peaches!  We had them on top of waffles and french toast.  We also just ate them plain.  It is so, so yummy!

3 large peaches, pitted and sliced
3 Tbsp packed light brown sugar

• 1¼ tsp vanilla, divided
• ----
• ¼ tsp salt, plus more for seasoning
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup wheat germ
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1½ cups buttermilk
• 2 Tbsp melted butter, plus more for pan
• 2 large eggs

DIRECTIONS

1. Combine peaches, brown sugar, ¾ tsp vanilla and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Cover and let stand 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 200°F and place a plate inside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flours, wheat germ, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and ¼ tsp salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 2 Tbsp melted butter, eggs, and ½ tsp vanilla. Fold wet ingredients into flour mixture until just combined.
4. In a skillet on medium heat, melt enough butter to coat bottom. In batches, add ¼-cup dollops of batter. Cook until batter bubbles, about 4 minutes; flip and cook 3 minutes more. Transfer to plate in oven.
5. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with peaches.
