Yeilds: 8 med size pancakes

Recipe adapted from sallysbakingaddiction

Ingredients:

1 cup - whole wheat flour (I used Aashiravad atta)

1/2 cup - quick cook oats

1/4 teaspoon - salt

2 teaspoons - baking powder

1 teaspoon - ground cinnamon

1 egg

1 cup - milk

2 Tablespoons - unrefined sugar

1/4 cup - yogurt

1 teaspoon - vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons - chocolate chips or fruit, optional

Directions:

• Mix together flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together. Whisk in the sugar, yogurt and vanilla until combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not over mix the batter or your pancakes will be tough and very dense. Add the chocolate chips or diced fruits.
• Heat a pan over medium heat. Add a few drops of oil or butter.  Once hot, drop about 1/4 cup of batter on the pan. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles begin to form on the center or sides. Flip and cook on the other side until cooked through.
• Serve with maple syrup.
