Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
Serves 3 (Makes ~6, 6" pancakes)


1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk
2/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup wheat bran
1 egg
1 egg white
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp chopped walnuts
3 Tbsp raisins


Drizzle
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp sifted all-purpose flour


Place oats into a medium bowl and pour in almond milk.  Whisk in flours, bran, baking powder, honey, egg and egg white.  Fold in cinnamon, walnuts and raisins.


In a smaller bowl, whisk together drizzle ingredients.


Heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.  Spoon one ~3/4 cup batter onto skillet.  Use a spoon to drizzle cinnamon mixture over batter evenly (whatever design you like!), using ~1 Tbsp mixture.  Cook until batter begins to bubble, then use a thin spatula to gently flip over pancake.  Cook for ~3 minutes until cooked through.


Serve immediately!
