Fluffy Oat Bran Pancakes
Folding beaten egg whites into the batter is the secret to this light-as-a-feather, heart-healthy pancake recipe.
Ingredients
-
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
-
⅓ cup oat bran
-
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup fat-free milk
-
1 tablespoon cooking oil
-
2 egg whites
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
½ cup sugar-free pancake and waffle syrup product
-
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
-
1 piece Orange wedges
Description
-
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and oil just until combined.
-
In a small bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight); fold into batter (small mounds of egg white will remain).
-
Lightly coat an unheated griddle or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. For each pancake, spoon 1/4 cup of the batter onto hot griddle or skillet; if necessary, spread to a 4-inch circle. Cook about 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry.
-
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat syrup product until warm. Stir in orange peel. Serve syrup mixture with pancakes. If desired, serve with orange wedges.
