Recipe Rehab: Pancakes

Our weekly feature, Recipe Rehab, takes a recipe -- sometimes basic, sometimes decadent and sometimes just plain unhealthy -- and turns it into a scrumptious and healthy dish, pumped up with nutrition. Sometimes all it takes is a few alterations to prepare a dish that would make even your nutritionist proud.

Sometimes all it takes is a few small changes to make a breakfast favorite healthy enough for every day.

Pancakes

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup Egg Beaters®
1 1/4 cups skim milk
3 tablespoons safflower oil

Sift together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add eggbeaters, milk and safflower oil and beat together until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls onto a hot griddle or frying pan sprayed with non-fat cooking spray.
