These pancakes have little oil or sugar, and you may omit one or the other or both if your diet requires it. Since they are healthy, they may be eaten with abandon.

Ingredients

4 cups rolled oats

4 cups skim milk

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1/8 cup canola oil

1/2 to 3/4 cup dried fruit, such as currants, chopped dates, cranberries, or cherries

Chopped nuts are also good in these 'cakes (optional)

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 cup flour

2 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Mix oats and skim milk in bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.

The next morning, preheat a pancake griddle or skillet. Then stir eggs, oil, and dried fruit of choice until well blended. In another bowl mix flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. Add to oats mixture and mix. Batter will be thick. Drop by large cooking spoonfuls onto griddle. Serve with warm maple syrup or your favorite fresh fruit topping.
