Whole Wheat Bran Pancakes Recipe

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup wheat bran
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled Nonstick cooking spray

1. Whisk both flours, bran, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until uniform. Stir in eggs, milk and melted butter until fairly smooth. Batter will be thick.
2. Spray a large skillet or griddle with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into pan. Cook 2 minutes, until tops begin to bubble and edges look cooked. Flip, then cook until lightly browned and set, about 1 minute. Remove pancakes from skillet; repeat with remaining batter, spraying the pan between batches as necessary. Makes about 14 pancakes.
