Soaking the oats for a short time makes them soft and creamy and ready for the pancake batter.
Ingredients:
16 fl oz fat-free buttermilk
1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
¾ cup white whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp kosher salt
½ cup fat-free vanilla Greek yogurt
1 large pear, red variety, ripe but firm, thinly sliced
Instructions
Combine buttermilk, oats, honey, and extract in a large bowl; let stand for 10 minutes.
Preheat a large nonstick griddle to medium heat.
Stir egg into oat mixture until well combined.
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in another bowl; stir flour mixture into oat mixture until just combined.
Scoop batter by 1/4-cup measure onto the griddle to make a few pancakes at a time. Cook until bubbles cover pancake tops and edges are browned, 4-5 minutes; flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. (If you can’t make them all at once, set aside cooked pancakes and keep warm. Repeat with remaining ingredients.) Serve pancakes topped with yogurt and pear.
Serving Size: 3 pancakes, 2 tbsp yogurt, and a few slices of pear. Enjoy!
