Apple Souffle Pancakes


 * from the sneaky kitchen

Ingredients

 * 1/2 cup oat bran
 * 1/2 cup flour (Wheat, Rye, Buckwheat or rice)
 * 2 tbsp ground flax seed (optional)
 * 1 tbsp baking powder
 * 2 tbsp Sugar
 * 1 tsp cinnamon
 * 1/4 tsp nutmeg
 * 2 small Apples, tart or crisp, cored and finely sliced or diced
 * 1 cup milk, low-fat or skim
 * 2 tbsp milk (only if you add flax seed)
 * 2 egg yolks
 * 1 tbsp vegetable oil
 * 4 egg whites

Directions

 * 1) Mix dry ingredients together.
 * 2) Combine all wet ingredients except egg whites, including the Apple.
 * 3) Beat egg whites until stiff. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring only until barely mixed.
 * 4) Gently fold in the beaten egg whites. Keep on folding until no large chunks of egg whites can be seen.
 * 5) Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan until a drop of water skitters on it.
 * 6) Spray lightly with cooking spray, or wipe on a little oil with a paper towel.
 * 7) Scoop out large spoonfuls of batter and instantly spread slightly on the skillet.
 * 8) Cook over medium heat to give Apples a chance to cook through.
 * 9) When browned, turn and brown other side.
 * 10) Serve with syrup and/or butter, or for a healthier dish, with applesauce.
