Makes:
10 Pancakes
Prep time:
15 minutes
Cooking time:
10 minutes
Ingredients
½ cup oats (quick-cooking or old fashioned rolled)
¾ cup low-fat buttermilk
½ cup finely grated carrot
1 egg
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
¼ cup nonfat or 1% milk
½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- In a medium bowl, mix oats and buttermilk and set aside to soak.
- Add egg, oil, milk and vanilla extract, if desired, to the oats mixture; beat well. Stir in the carrot.
- In another medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to oats mixture and stir gently. If it seems too thick add a small amount of milk.
- Lightly grease a large skillet or griddle and heat over medium-high heat (350 degrees F in an electric skillet). For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot skillet or griddle.
- Cook until bubbles come to the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to dry. Turn over and cook other side until golden brown.
- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes
- To see if skillet is hot enough, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If drops skitter around, heat is just right.
- Top with applesauce, fresh fruit or yogurt.
- Try adding 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
