Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ¼ cup quick oats
• ⅛ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 TBSP brown sugar
• ¼ cup yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup add-ins like chocolate chips or fruit, optional

Directions:

Toss the flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl. Set aside.

Load the egg and milk into the blender. Pulse. Add the brown sugar, vanilla and yogurt and blend until no lumps remain.

Pour the wet ingredients in with dry. Stir gently until just combined. Do not over-mix the batter or your pancakes will be tough and dense. Add any mix-ins you like.

Heat a griddle or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Coat generously with cocoanut oil or butter.

Once hot, drop about 1/4 cup of batter on the griddle. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles begin to form on the center or sides, about 1 minute. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Makes 4 medium size pancakes.
