Serves 8 / Prep tip: Cook more than you need for dinner; these keep well in the fridge and make great, spill-free car snacks. Serving tips: Serve with vanilla or plain yogurt, applesauce, fresh or frozen berries, bananas, or whatever fruit is in season. Scrambled eggs make a nice accompaniment, too.
3/4 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons agave nectar or sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
2 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
1. Mix all dry ingredients (flour through salt) together. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, agave or sugar, and orange zest (if using); add buttermilk and whisk. Stir wet ingredients into dry and mix until just combined. Pour batter into a hot frying pan lightly coated with cooking spray. When edges appear dry, flip and cook other side until well browned.
