Whole Wheat and Oat Pancakes

So, my very first recipe posted on this blog was for Basic Pancakes. I made hundreds of them the first year and a half we were in India.

I have a confession...I haven't made them a single time so far. Because I'm obsessed with this new recipe, that I've made 5 or 6 times already in the 3.5 weeks we've been here.

I'm in love with this new pancake recipe, because it feels super healthy with the whole wheat, very little sugar, and using dahi instead of butter. The oats add an extra heartiness that fill you up a little more. And the hint of cinnamon gives such good flavor - normally I'm a die hard peanut butter on pancakes eater, but I like the flavor of these so much that I've been using regular old butter on them. They're real winners!! 

I hope you make them, and I hope you love them!

Whole Wheat and Oat Pancakes

Original Recipe

1 cup atta (whole wheat flour)

1/2 cups oats

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsps baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1 egg

1 cup milk

2 TBS brown sugar

1/4 cup dahi (Greek yogurt)

1 tsp vanilla

Combine the atta, oats, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the egg, milk, brown sugar, dahi, and vanilla together.

Pour the wet ingredients slowly into the dry, and whisk JUST until combined. Don't over mix, or you'll wind up with dense, tough pancakes, especially since these use whole wheat flour.

Heat a greased griddle to medium low heat and pour about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake. Cook a couple of minutes on first side or until lots of bubbles start to pop on the surface. Flip, and cook another 1-2 minutes or until done. Make 7-8 pancakes.
