Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Pancakes

1/3 c. oat flour
1/3 c. whole wheat flour
1/3 c. whole oats
1/4 c. wheat germ
1 c. milk (I use soy - use whatever you have. You may need to add more at the end if the batter isn't "pancake" consistency.)
1/2 c. chopped pecans and/or walnuts
4 T melted butter (optional)
1/2 t. salt
1 T sweetener (honey, molasses, sugar, Equal, whatever)
2 t. baking powder
3 eggs
2 T (or more) peanut butter

Mix it all up and go to town! You'll need a little butter/oil/Pam on the pan since there's not much in the batter. This makes about 5 or 6 good sized pancakes (I'm usually full after 1 or 1 1/2, Jeff eats 2 or 3). The batter keeps pretty well if you want to just make a couple of pancakes. One note on the eggs - if you want the pancakes to be a little lighter/fluffier, separate the eggs, add the yolks to the rest of the ingredients, and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Then fold the whites into the rest of the ingredients. But usually I'm in a hurry and don't take the time to do that step. They're pretty dense either way. Also, you can substitute whatever type of flours/brans/wheat germ you have on hand for the first 4 ingredients. I've used barley flour, corn meal, whole wheat pastry flour, white flour, etc - just so there's about 1 1/4 cups total.
