I'm not always so sure how healthy pancakes are, but I recently came across this recipe in the January issue of Health Magazine and we LOVE them. They almost taste like cake. And they're made with oats and whole-wheat flour--seriously, does it get any better? :)
Here's the YUMMY recipe for Oatmeal Pancakes.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup 1% low-fat buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
Soak oats in buttermilk in a small bowl for 15 minutes.
Combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Whisk eggs together with egg whites in a small bowl, and stir in milk.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour about 1/2 cup batter per pancake onto hot skillet, and cook 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Flip and cook 2 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Transfer to a plate; keep warm. Cook remaining batter in batches.
Enjoy! :)

ReplyDeleteHi. First of all, you family is adorable! I love reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, are you from PA? I have this vague notion that I read something about you living in PA. I could be totally wrong. But the reason I'm asking is because we're in the dossier process right now with AGCI and I had some PA specific questions that I was thinking you might be able to help me with, if in fact you are from PA. But if you're not, then feel free to totally disregard this! :)
