Food treat for visitors



We all know that the worst day of your life was when your doctor told you to 'stop eating pancakes if you want to lose weight'. Since then you glance over at the pancakes and can't seem to take your mind off it. Well, because I like to help my blog visitors, here's a healthier option, of your favourite food: pancakes!

Ingredients:

1 egg, or substitute
2 1/2 cup rice milk, or skim milk
2 tbsp. Sucanat, or brown sugar
1 T. honey
1 1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 apple, shredded
1/4 cup raisins (or 1/2 cup blueberries)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp. natural sesame seeds
2 tbsp. wheat germ
1/4 cup bran


In large bowl, combine milk, egg, fruit sugar, oil and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients. Refrigerate overnight.

Pancake mixture will be ready for breakfast. Top the pancakes with maple syrup or molasses.

While your husband makes the pancakes, why don't you get up to some exercise, with your husband not there to discourage you and say 'Man, this is better than watching football on TV. You are dreadful at doing exercise, honestly'
