OATRAGEOUS CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES

(from http://www.hungrygirl.com/)

Serves: 1

Points: 4

1/4 c. regular oats (not instant)

1/4 c. fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Original Egg Beaters)

2 T. whole-wheat flour

2 T. fat-free vanilla yogurt

2 tsp. semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda)

dash salt

4 sprays I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spray

2 T. Fat Free Reddi-wip

Optional: sugar-free pancake syrup

In a small bowl, place all ingredients EXCEPT for the chocolate chips, butter spray, Reddi-wip and optional syrup. Add 2 T. of water, and stir until thoroughly mixed. Then, fold in the chocolate chips. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Evenly pour half of the batter into the center of the pan to form 1 pancake. Once the pancake begins to look solid (after about 1 1/2 minutes), gently flip. Cook for an additional 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until both sides are lightly browned and the inside is cooked through. Plate and spray evenly with 2 spritzes of the butter spray. Repeat with the rest of the batter and butter spray to make your second pancake. If you like, drizzle with a little sugar-free syrup. Then, top with the Reddi-wip and enjoy!
