Oatmeal and whole wheat pancakes.




Pancakes are a huge breakfast favourite. They can be dressed up or down according to your mood and time available. But they are so easy to make. A pancake drizzled with some honey or jam or maple syrup just makes breakfast look exotic and fancy.




1 cup whole wheat flour 
1/2 cup quick oats 
1 cup milk
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 egg whites
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
2 tblsp sugar ( I prefer using raw sugar)a pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional : 1/2 cup of berries/ chocolate chips/ dried fruit or 1/4 cup sliced nuts. 

Mix together flour, oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon powder. Separately whisk together milk , sugar and vanilla essence, then add in the yoghurt. Whisk egg whites and slowly add to the milk mixture. Gradually blend in the milk-egg mixture into the flour-oats mixture. Stir lightly so as to just about mix it. Do not beat or whisk together or the pancakes will not be fluffy and light. Sprinkle your favourite optional ingredients and give a quick light mix.
Heat a tawa or a non stick pan . brush with butter or oil. Spoon out 2 tablespoonfuls of the batter and gently spread in a thick circle. Cook till the sides look light brown , then flip over .
