Based on a recipe from the McCann’s Irish Oatmeal box. These pancakes have a hearty, nutty flavor, but are still quite light and fluffy. Derek and his father claim these are the “best pancakes ever.”

In a large bowl combine:

• 1.25 cups quick cooking oats, or regular rolled oats blended to a coarse flour
• 1 cup lowfat or nonfat yogurt, unsweetened
• 1 cup skim or lowfat milk or plain soymilk
• 1 tsp. sugar or honey (omit if soymilk or yogurt are sweetened)

Stir in:

• 1/4 cup white flour
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 scant tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. baking soda

Add and mix well:

• 2 large eggs, beaten

Add:

• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Use 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
Yields: 13 four-inch pancakes
