tbsp plus 1 tsp oat bran (You can sub flour if need be.)

plus 1/8 tsp baking powder

scant 1/8 tsp salt

tbsp cocoa powder (For a more brownie-like taste, try dutch cocoa.)

pure vanilla extract

pureed raspberries (or sub 1/3c milk of choice)

oil (Omit only if you like the taste of fat-free pancakes.)

milk of choice – Use more or less, depending on how thick you want the batter

tbsp sugar, or 1 stevia packet (If using liquid sweetener, decrease the milk.)

If not using the berry puree, you can add food coloring if desired for the red color (Whole Foods sells a natural brand, called Select.)
