While boxes of pancake mix are convenient, it really doesn't take much time to make your own pancake batter. For a little extra fiber, try these yummy applesauce oatmeal pancakes. Resist the temptation to top them with butter. A little maple syrup is perfect, or try some warmed applesauce and a sprinkling of cinnamon.

Ingredients

1/2	cup all-purpose flour (or substitute whole wheat flour for half the amount)
1/2	cup oatmeal
1/2	cup fat-free milk
1	tsp baking powder
1/2	tsp baking soda
1/4	tsp salt
1/4	cup sugar
1/2	cup unsweetened applesauce
2	large egg whites
1	tbsp canola oil

Directions

1. Place ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended.
   
   
2. Heat a griddle to 375 degrees (medium). When griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles appear and edges are puffed. Flip the pancakes and cook until golden.
