WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES
In a large bowl combine whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, maple syrup, melted butter and lemon juice; pour over dry ingredients. Stir gently just until combined. (A few lumps are OK).
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt a thin layer of butter. Scoop about 1/4 cup (50 mL) batter per pancake into skillet. Cook until surface of pancake dulls and bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer or until golden and puffed; remove to a plate. Keep pancakes covered and warm in 200 ∞F (100 ∞C) oven. Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Serve pancakes with warm apple compote (See recipe) and a dollop of plain yogurt.
