Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancakes


For delicious, wholesome pancakes...LOOK NO FURTHER! This tastes more like a cinnamon apple muffin than a pancake! But the best part is, this is completely healthy!!! I have a hard time with regular pancakes and syrup because I get migraines from it's high sugar content. Finally, I can have pancakes again! The unsweetened applesauce is the perfect sub for syrup that my whole family enjoys!
Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancakes
Ingredients
4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
4 cups skim milk
8 egg whites
1/8 cup canola oil
1/2 to 3/4 cup dried fruit, such as currants, chopped dates, cranberries, or cherries (optional)
Chopped nuts are also good in these 'cakes (optional)
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Topping
Unsweetened applesauce

Mix oats and skim milk in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.
The next morning, preheat a pancake griddle or skillet. Then mix all ingredients together. Batter will be thick. Drop by large cooking spoonfuls onto griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve with unsweetened applesauce.
Serves: 8.
*We actually divide this recipe in half, which makes 10 pancakes, just enough for our little family.
**You can also omit the oil and sugar for even healthier pancakes.
