Lightened Up Birthday Cake Pancakes

Calories

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup oat flour (1 cup old-fashioned oats blended to a powder)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups almond milk (or your milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla , lowfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sprinkles

For Embellishment

  • candles
  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt
  • extra sprinkles

Instructions

  • Combine the whole wheat pastry flour, oat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Pour the milk, yogurt, and vanilla in a separate small bowl and whisk until completely combined. Pour liquid mixture into the dry mix and stir with a fork until just mixed and no more flour is seen.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or non stick griddle over medium heat. Place a small amount of butter on the pan and coat the cooking surface. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of batter 2 inches apart onto the skillet. As soon as you pour each pancake, top with a couple pinches of sprinkles.
  • Cook until the edges are set and air bubbles form on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more until the underside is golden.
  • Top with yogurt and sprinkles if you would like. Or as an alternative, top with nut butter, fruit, and agave. The options are endless!
