Apple Oatmeal Pancakes

Serves 4

Two 3-inch pancakes per serving

Ingredients:

• ½ cup oatmeal
• 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ tablespoon, plus ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ tablespoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 egg white
• ½ cup skim milk
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• non-fat cooking spray

Equipment:

• 1 large bowl
• 1 small bowl
• Skillet or griddle

Directions:

Add oatmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Combine applesauce, egg white, skim milk, canola oil, and vanilla in a small bowl; whisk until blended.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and combine until moistened. The batter should be a little lumpy. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Preheat skillet or griddle to medium and spray with non-fat cooking spray.

Drop 2 tablespoons per pancake onto hot griddle.

Flip when the top starts to bubble and the bottoms are lightly browned.

Cook until both sides are golden brown.
