Oat Bran Pancake Recipe

This oat bran pancake recipe can be adjusted to become a recipe for oat flour pancakes.

It is one of those wonderful Quaker oats recipes that is delicious as well as nutritious.

The recipe as given makes about 10 medium size pancakes, but it can easily be multiplied to serve a larger group.

1½ cups milk
1 cup Quaker oats
¾ cup sifted all purpose flour
¼ cup oat flour or oat bran
2 tablespoons sugar (or equivalent in sugar substitute)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup melted butter or margarine

Pour milk over oats and let stand for 5 minutes. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

Lightly stir eggs into oats mixture. Add dry ingredients and butter, stirring until combined.

Ladle in batches on to a greased or non-stick griddle or frying pan and cook until tops are bubbly and edges look cooked. Turn over and finish cooking the other side.

Tips and variations:

• Try replacing ½ the flour with whole wheat flour for an even more nutritious recipe.
• These days, most of us don't sift anything very much. Sifting involves pouring the ingredients through a mesh strainer. It is not essential to the recipe but does ensure a lighter pancake and that all ingredients are well mixed.
• Add blueberries or chopped banana for great flavor. It's easiest to add them one by one to the batter on the pan. As it cooks on one side, dot the top with blueberries or small pieces of banana. They will cook into the pancake when you flip it over to cook on the other side.

Handy electric griddle with adjustable temperature control is great for cooking a lot of pancakes at one time. Or cook full breakfasts or lunches on the spot. West Bend 20.5x10.5 Nonstick Electric Griddle
