Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, and Banana Pancakes

A basic whole-grain pancake to get you going in the morning. We also like to change it up a bit by adding 1/2 cup applesauce and 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon instead of the banana.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons dry milk powder
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 banana, mashed
• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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 flour, brown sugar, dry milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.

Step 3

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.
