Ingredients

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1 Tbsp (10g) brown sugar or dehydrated cane juice

1 Tbsp (15g) baking powder

1 tsp (6g) salt

1/2 cup (60g) whole wheat flour

1/2 cup (60g) unbleached white flour

1/4 cup (20g) rolled oats

1/4 cup (40g) cornmeal

1/2 cup (120g) nonfat plain yogurt

3/4 cup (180mL) low-fat buttermilk

1 Tbsp (15mL) melted butter or margarine or canola oil

Directions

Combine beaten eggs, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and stir well.

In a separate bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, unbleached white flour, oats and cornmeal.

Add yogurt, buttermilk and melted butter to the egg mixture and stir. Fold in the flour mixture just until blended. Don’t overmix!

Using a 1/4 cup (60mL) measure, drop batter onto a hot, nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until bubbles form on tops of pancakes. Flip pancakes over and continue cooking 1 minute longer.
