I was fooling around in the the kitchen today trying to come up with some descent healthy pancakes. Here’s what I came up with, measurements are estimates of what I remember, a lot of times I just added it by sight/texture.

1 cup whole grain wheat flour

Dry oats that I ground in a sifter to a coarse flour, 3/4 cup of this flour, this took a ridiculous amount of time

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/8-1/4 tsp salt ( I used an 1/8 but probably would taste better with 1/4, and still be relatively low in sodium)

MIX THESE DRY INGREDIENTS IN A BOWL.

IN ANOTHER BOWL COMBINE:

1 1/2 cup milk (approximate, I used 1 cup and had to keep adding more to make it thin enough, I used 1% milk)

2 egg whites

1tbsp honey ( I just squirted an amount that looked good in)

1 tsp vanilla extract

MIX WELL.

ADD WET INGREDIENTS TO DRY AND MIX A MINIMUM AMOUNT. I overmixed because I kept adding more milk to get the batter thin enough.

COOK & ENJOY… makes quite a few pancakes, golden to deep brown.

NEED TO IMPROVE:

RISING, LIGHTNESS, QUICK COOKING THROUGHOUT WITHOUT BROWNING TOO MUCH. TASTE IS GOOD, A LITTLE BLAND DUE TO LOW SALT. A BETTER WAY TO MAKE OAT FLOUR.
