Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4, 2 pancakes per serving

Ingredients

1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
3 tablespoons firmly packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
2 medium bananas, sliced
1/4 cup low-fat granola
1/4 cup maple syrup

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flours, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, egg substitute, and oil. Stir into the flour mixture just until combined. (Do not overmix or the pancakes will be tough.)

    Step 3

    Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Test the griddle by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If the water evaporates quickly, the griddle is ready. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle (probably about 4 pancakes per batch, depending on the size of your griddle). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles appear all over the surface.

    Step 4

    Flip the pancakes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown. Repeat until all the batter has been used. (You should have 8 pancakes total.) Serve topped with the bananas, granola, and maple syrup.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    Step 5

    If you aren’t serving the first batch as soon as you remove the pancakes from the griddle, put them on a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil. If you cover them tightly, they will steam and become soggy. Leftover pancakes will taste fresher and have a drier texture if you reheat them in a toaster oven rather than in a microwave oven.
