Ingredients




1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup bran
1/4 cup oatmeal (any kind will do)
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons dark molasses

Preparation

1 Add all wet ingredients including the egg into a large blender. 2 In a food processor or spice blender, pulse the bran and oatmeal until ground coarsely (not a fine powder). 3 Add to the wet ingredients, including everything BUT the baking powder. 4 Blend for a few minutes, scraping down the sides. Add additional milk if too thick. 5 Allow to stand for about 15 minutes. 6 Add baking powder and blend again (adding a bit more milk if necessary). 7 Preheat your oven to keep finished pancakes warm. 8 Heat a griddle until hot, spray with Pam. 9 Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop one scoop and with the rounded edge push the batter out into a circle about 6"  in diameter. 10 Cook for a couple of minutes each side, until golden. Keep finished ones warm in the oven. 11 Continue until all the batter is used.

About


These are slightly darker than normal pancakes because of the ingredients and have a slightly coarser texture, but we really enjoyed them. Check them out on my blog .
