Orange Oatmeal Pancakes

Ingredients:

• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup rolled oats
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup orange juice
• ½ cup fat-free skim milk
• 2 Tablespoons oil
• Cooking spray

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine flours, oats, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. In another large bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly with a fork.
3. Add orange juice, milk, and oil to the bowl with the egg. Mix well.
4. Coat a large pan with the non-stick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat.
5. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir just until the dry ingredients are wet, do not overmix.
6. Pour ¼ of the batter for each pancake. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
7. Flip pancakes when bubbles appear on top of the batter and the edges are slightly browned (3-4 minutes). Cook until the second side is slightly browned (2-3 minutes).

Tips:

Serve with yogurt and chopped fruit.

You can cook a double batch and freeze the leftovers with waxed paper between each pancake. Place pancakes in the freezer in an airtight container or zip-top plastic bag for up to 6 weeks. Warm them in the microwave or a toaster oven for a quick breakfast!
