Flopped Cheese Whole Grain Pancakes

Serves about 6

1 c. Flour, white or whole wheat
1 ¼ c. oatmeal
2 tbs of wheat bran, oat bran, or wheat germ
2 tbs of whole flax seeds
2 tsp of baking power
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tbs honey, brown sugar, or raw (turbine) sugar
1 tps of vanilla sugar or ½ tsp of vanilla
½ tsp cinnamon
2 plus c. of flopped cheese, flopped yogurt, buttermilk or soured milk
2 eggs
½ tsb of olive oil

Put everything in a bowl and mix until combined. Cook in a large frying pan or griddle until you start to see bubbles in the top and the edges are starting to dry bottoms should be golden brown. Enjoy!

Cook’s tips: slightly under cook the pancakes, then reheat them in a toaster for weekday quick breakfasts. Enjoy them topped with honey and peanut-butter for a very filling breakfast.

Why all the funny stuff instead of just Bisquick?

The oatmeal and bran add fiber, which has been linked to preventing GI tract cancers and preventing heart disease. The flax seeds offer Omega 2 and 6 fatty acids, which are usually found in fish and are good for the heart. Olive oil is another source of heart healthly fats. As for the flopped cheese/yogurt…. Its just something I end up with from time to time and use in place of buttermilk. As the saying goes “waste not want not.”
