How to Make Whole Wheat Oatmeal Walnut and Banana Pancakes

Cooking pancakes or waffles using whole wheat floor is sometimes difficult. Use my instructions for healthy, tasty batter.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Whole Wheat Oatmeal Walnut and Banana Pancakes
   
   This is a whole meal healthy recipe. You get a balanced carbohydrate / protean / fat meal all in one package. Try making a double batch and freezing the extra for heating up in the toaster later.

2. Dry Ingredients
   2 Cups Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour
   1 Cup Regular (not quick) Oatmeal
   ¾ Cup whole shelled walnuts
   1-Teaspoon Baking Powder
   1-Teaspoon Baking Soda
   1-Tablespoon Cinnamon
   1-scoop protein powerder(optional)
   Wet Ingredients
   2 Eggs
   1 Tablespoon Pure Vanilla Extract (not imitation)
   1/2 Cup Non Fat Sour Cream (yogurt can be substituted here, I use both)
   2 ¼ Cups Skim Milk
   ¼ Cup Olive Oil
   1 Medium Size Banana (optional), also pumpkin, apples, etc,can be used
   1 cup frozen wild blueberries

3. Liquefy in blender all wet ingredients, set aside
   Mix in large bowl all dry ingredients
   Stir liquefied wet ingredients into mixed dry ingredients
   
   Note: the batter should be on the watery side.
   
   Spray grill with non-stick spray (olive oil type is best)
   Ladle batter onto griddle
   Cook until bottom is solid and top is still a little wet (bottom will burn if left too long)
   Flip again two more times while cooking (whole wheat cooks different than white floor and continuously flipping will keep the heat more evenly distributed and prevent over browning or burning)
   Serve with real butter and real maple syrup or whatever you like
   For something different serve with yogurt on top instead of syrup.
   Makes about 9 large pancakes.
