Ingredients
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup oat bran
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fat-free milk
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 egg whites
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/2 cup sugar-free syrup product
- 1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, oat bran, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and oil just until combined.
-
In a small bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight); fold into batter (small mounds of egg white will remain).
-
Lightly coat an unheated griddle or large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. For each pancake, spoon 1/4 cup of the batter onto hot griddle or skillet; if necessary, spread to a 4-inch circle. Cook about 2 minutes on each side or until pancakes are golden brown, turning to second sides when pancakes have bubbly surfaces and edges are slightly dry.
-
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat syrup product until warm. Stir in orange peel. Serve syrup mixture with pancakes. If desired, serve with orange wedges. Makes 4 servings (3 pancakes per serving).
