Rolled Oats Chocolate Chip Pancakes

A healthy pancake with a touch of sweet! I have started to switch over from unbleached white flour to whole wheat & unbleached white whole wheat four. So far kids are liking it. Chocolate chips probably make the transition better, ha ha!

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup quick rolled oats
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 egg
1/4-1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Recipe adapted from Erica's Cannella Vita

Place flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a blender or food processor. Blend. Add milk, vanilla, egg and oil. Blend. Transfer to a medium bowl. Fold in chocolate chips.

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter on hot griddle or pan. Brown. Serve with a little butter. Syrup, not even necessary!
