Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes

I've been playing around with the recipe for a few weeks now and I think we have a winner. The Hunk called last week's batch the best ever, so I'm going to try to duplicate it this week and document it. Ingredients : 2 cups whole wheat flour (I use Gold Medal) 1 cup Coach's Oats 1tsp baking soda 2tsp baking powder 1/2tsp salt 1/4 sugar in the raw (honey can be substituted) 2 eggs (flaxseed can be substituted) 2tsp vanilla 1.5 cups milk (coconut or almond milk can be substituted) 1 cup water Optional: Pecans, dried or frozen berries Combine dry ingredients. Mix liquid ingredients in a separate bowl, then add to dry. Mix well. Let sit while you heat your griddle. Batter will appear watery, but any thicker and you will have *really * thick pancakes. Pour out batter in 1/4 cup increments. Cook until both sides are golden brown. *posted using the blogger app, sorry about the formatting

I like to mix things up a bit with breakfast. Including oatmeal. Food should be fun, even when you're trying to lose weight.
