Recipe Day: Hearty Oatmeal Pancakes

Good Morning!

• ½ cup slow cook oats
• ½ cup low-fat plain yogurt
• ½ cup skim milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup whole wheat flour

1. In a medium bowl, combine oats, yogurt and milk. Set aside for 15-20 minutes to let the oats soften.

   

2. When the oats are finished soaking, beat in the egg and oil; mix well. Add the sugar and salt, then baking powder and flour. Stir until just moistened. For best results, let the batter stand for 5 minutes before cooking.
3. Heat a lightly oiled or non-stick griddle over medium heat (375 F for an electric frying pan).
4. For each pancake, pour ¼ cup batter onto the griddle. Turn when the tops are covered with bubbles and look dry.

   

5. Serve with applesauce, yogurt or fresh fruit and enjoy!
