Whole Wheat, Oatmeal, Flax, and Banana, Pancakes

I made this for dinner tonight and I think it's the best Pancake recipe ever!

Serves: 15

ingredients:

• 2-1/2 cups uncooked rolled oats


• 2-1/2 cups whole wheat flour


• 1-3/4 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour


• 1/2 cup and 2 tablespoons brown sugar


• 1/4 cup flax


• 1 tablespoon and 2 teaspoons baking powder


• 1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda


• 1-1/4 teaspoons salt


• 2-1/2 egg


• Blueberries optional


• 5 cups milk


• 1/4 cup and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil


• 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


• 2-1/2 banana, mashed

1. Place the rolled oats into the jar of a blender and blend until the texture resembles coarse flour. Whisk together the blended oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, flax, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.


2. Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until moistened. Let the batter stand for 5 minutes.


3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 minutes. Flip, and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.
