Here is what I came up with this past week to get actual vegetables into my 8 year old who hates them. Pancakes 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1/2 cup oat flour 1 small raw sweet potato, shredded 1 apple, grated 1/2 cup crushed pecans 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt low fat almond milk Combine dry ingredients well, toss with grated sweet potato and apple and pecans until well mixed. Now the tricky part is to moisten the whole thing enough. I used almond milk but you could use whatever you have, rice milk would work well and if it was home made would make much lower fat pancakes especially if you left out the pecans. I added milk until I had a mixture that was moist but not runny. I put a spoonful of mixture on the hot non stick griddle and had to flatten it out to about 3/8 inch thick to cook, flipping after the top started to look dry. These were greatly enjoyed by both sons with peanut butter and maple syrup - for weight loss you will want to omit the peanut butter and use just a teensy bit of whatever sweetener you like. They really need sweetening since there is no sugar in them. They are storing well in the refrigerator separated by sheets of wax paper, we have been heating them in the toaster for snacks.
