Healthified Whole Grain Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pancakes

 

1 1/2

cups Gold Medal® whole wheat flour

1

cup Total® Raisin Bran cereal

2

tablespoons packed brown sugar

1

tablespoon baking powder

1/2

teaspoon salt

1

teaspoon ground cinnamon

2

eggs, lightly beaten

1 3/4

cups buttermilk

2

tablespoons cooking oil

2

cups unsweetened applesauce

• 1 In a large bowl, combine flour, cereal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and half of the cinnamon. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until combined but still slightly lumpy.
• 2 Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat until a few drops of water dance across the surface. For each pancake, pour a scant 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle.
• 3 Cook over medium heat until pancakes are golden brown, turning when pancake surfaces are bubbly and edges are slightly dry (about 1 to 2 minutes per side). Serve immediately, or keep warm in a loosely covered ovenproof dish in a 200°F oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve topped with applesauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
