This is another recipe from my favorite cookbook, Magic Foods. This helps keep your blood sugar from spiking. It doesn't taste healthy either. Lemon zest adds a hint of fruitiness.
Multi-Grain Pancakes or Waffles
Pour 2 cups low-fat buttermilk over 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats and let sit while you put together the other ingredients.
mix together:
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (I did all whole wheat)
1/4 wheat germ
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup brown sugar
Zest from 1 lemon
In separate bowl mix:
2 large eggs
1 tbsp canola oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
Add buttermilk mixture with other wet ingredients and pour over dry ingredients. Mix until just moistened. Makes delicious waffles or pancakes and is actually healthy!
We've topped with real maple syrup, which is better on your blood sugar level than pretend syrup. :) We've also topped the recipe in waffle style with ricotta cheese, blueberries, and just a drizzle of real maple syrup (cheapest when bought in a large bottle at Trader Joe's, and Winco's prices are next best).
