Applesauce Oatmeal Pancakes

Makes about 8 pancakes

½ cup whole wheat flour (best if made from soft white wheat)

½ cup oatmeal

½ cup milk (or 1 Tbs. powder milk and ½ C. water)

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt
2 Tbs sugar

½ cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large egg whites (or 1 egg)

1 Tbs olive oil

Place ingredients in medium bowl and whisk until well blended.

Heat griddle to 375 degrees (medium). When griddle is hot, pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear and edges are puffed. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden.

These are slow cooking pancakes. Don't rush them.

Note: I added 1/2 cup fresh blueberries to batter before cooking. After they were cooked, I put on a little butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. They were delicious.
