OAT BRAN PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix together the flour, oat bran, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl.
• It's best to do this with a fork because it turns out a bit more like it was sifted, resulting in a fluffier and lighter end product.
• In another bowl beat together the egg, milk/soymilk, butter/oil, vanilla and brown sugar until smooth.
• Add the wet ingredients (eg the second bowl) to the dry ingredients (eg the first bowl) and mix gently until completely, but just combined.
• Fold in the pecans.
• Lightly grease a hot griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Spoon the batter onto the griddle (in about 1/4 cup increments) and cook until pancake appears to look more solid around the edges and bubbles form in the centers.
• Each side should be golden or golden brown.
• Serve hot with maple syrup.
