1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking or old fashioned oats
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1/2 cup applesauce
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
Stir together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in mixing bowl.
Beat egg in separate bowl; stir in milk, applesauce, and oil.
Add liquid mixture to dry ingredients, stirring just until blended. Fold in walnuts.
Heat greased griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375 °F (190 °C). Griddle is ready when a few drops of water bubble and skitter rapidly around.
For each pancake, pour scant 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed, bubbly and dry around edges. Turn and cook other sides until golden brown.
Makes about 10 (4-inch) pancakes.
