This recipe is heart healthy.

Yield: 4 servings

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup quick cooking oats

2 tbsp yellow cornmeal

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup skim milk (try skim plus)

1/4 cup plain fat free yogurt (try vanilla)

1 tbsp canola oil

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Combine all dry ingredients in one bowl, and all wet ingredients in another. Add wet to dry, stirring until smooth. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto a hot, non-stick griddle or skillet.

Turn pancakes when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. These pancakes are especially delicious when topped with light vanilla yogurt and mixed berries.
