Whole Grain Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pancakes

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup Raisin Bran cereal
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons canola oil (or substitute with applesauce to be even healthier) :)
2 cups unsweetened applesauce



1. In a large bowl, combine flour, cereal, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and half of the cinnamon. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, buttermilk, and oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until combined but still slightly lumpy.
2. Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle.
3. Cook over medium heat until pancakes are golden brown.

Serve topped with applesauce and remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon... it seriously is good. Or, of course, serve with syrup on top. :)
