Whole Grain Pancakes
Low in fat, calories and carbs! Makes about 10-12 small pancakes.

Ingredients:
1-cup plain low fat yogurt (fat free would work as well)
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 cup skim milk
3 egg whites, plus 1 yolk, lightly beaten
1-cup quick cooking oatmeal (i.e. Quaker Oats)
1/4 cup wheat flour 1/4 cup white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon baking soda
Non-stick cooking spray (i.e. Pam)

Directions:
To make pancake batter, combine all wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl (yogurt through eggs). Then mix all dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl (oatmeal through baking soda). Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until batter is uniform. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium high heat and spray generously with cooking spray. Using a ladle, pour a small amount of the batter onto the skillet to create your pancakes (use more or less batter to create a larger or small pancake). Cook about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Serve with fruit preserves or powdered sugar. For a Valentine's Day treat, throw in some semi-sweet chocolate morsels to make chocolate chip pancakes!
