This morning my daughter wanted pancakes for breakfast. She said she was bored of eggs and cereal and milk as her only choices in the morning. I agreed with her and made a very healthy high fiber whole wheat version of pancakes for her. She loved it because I added some sugar for sweetness and vanilla for flavor. I also cooked them a little longer to make them crispier. Here is the recipe. Enjoy a healthier version of a pancake. I like it better than the white flour no fiber version.
Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rolled oats
- 1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Benefiber
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Place the rolled oats into the jar of a blender and blend until the texture resembles coarse flour. Whisk together the blended oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose white wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
- Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve with maple syrup and fresh blueberries on top.
Note: You can also substitute
Megafruit on top of the pancakes instead of blueberries. For example you can make a Hawaiian pancake by adding coconut flakes and
baby pineapple on top of your pancakes.
Oh yum! I love using rolled oats in my pancakes. Sometimes, I add half of a mashed ripened banana for extra sweetness. It's sooooo good!
