Whole Wheat Oatmeal Pancakes

(my kiddos love these... )

•1/2 cup oatmeal

•1 cup whole wheat flour

•1/4 cup brown sugar

•2 heaping teaspoons baking powder

•1/2 teaspoon salt

•1 egg

•1/4 cup applesauce

•1 1/3 cups milk

Grind the oatmeal in a food processor or blender. Combine oatmeal, brown sugar, salt and baking powder. Sift the whole wheat flour into the mixture. Add the bran and germ (which would have separated during sifting) into the mixture. Mix together.

Add egg, applesauce and milk. Mix together until thoroughly blended.

Cook on a buttered 275/300 degree griddle. Flip then serve.
