\"PancakesI’m set to run almost 13 miles in tomorrow’s Mt. Si Relay<\/a> (first leg is just under 6 miles, second leg is just over 7), so I wanted to make sure I consumed enough carbs today to keep me energized throughout the race. Pancakes seemed a perfect choice for breakfast; they’re fast and easy to prepare and would pair wonderfully with the fresh strawberries we just picked up at Costco.<\/p>\n

I’ve made multigrain pancakes<\/a> in the past, but this morning I wanted to make things even simpler. There’s nothing easier than my darling’s buttermilk pancakes, but this time I substituted white whole wheat flour and oat bran for the all purpose flour. They truly hit the spot.<\/p>\n

Whole Grain Buttermilk Pancakes<\/strong>
\n(makes 6 4-inch pancakes)<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup white whole wheat flour (can also use regular whole wheat)
\n1\/4 cup oat bran
\n1 cup buttermilk
\n1 egg
\n1\/2 teaspoon EACH baking soda and baking powder
\nButter or oil for pan<\/p>\n

Gently whisk the flour, bran, buttermilk, egg, baking powder and baking soda until relatively smooth (I start with the whisk, then switch to a spatula). Let batter sit for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Heat a skillet over medium high until hot. Brush with butter or oil and drop in 1\/4 cupfuls of batter. Bubbles will start to form on the top of the pancake; cook until they break and do not fill in. Flip over and cook on the second side for about a minute, or until golden brown. Serve with toppings of choice (I tossed the sliced strawberries with some maple syrup and topped with a dollop of plain yogurt).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
