Ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup oat flour
• 0.25 cup cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (optional)
• 1 as needed cooking spray (or butter) for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oat flour, cornmeal, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then add the buttermilk, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and melted butter (if using). Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.

Step 5

Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly with the back of a spoon if necessary.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, a dollop of yogurt, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
