Oatmeal and Raisin Pancakes

By CHEF KUNAL KAPUR

Perfect for those with a sweet-tooth who like to lead a healthy life, these pancakes will become your go-to  meal. Start by preparing the pancake batter by whisking the eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and  oil together.

Add the oatmeal, raisins, and buttermilk. Mix and set aside for the oatmeal to soften. In a separate bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, baking soda, nutmeg, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Fold till the dry ingredients is just incorporated; do not over-mix. Now the next step is to cook the pancakes. Preheat your griddle or frying pan to medium-high and then lightly brush the oil onto the griddle.

Ladle the batter and let it cook for a few minutes, before flipping and let it cook through. Keep in mind these pancakes do take longer to cook than regular pancakes. Serve immediately with warm honey.
