1 Tbsp (10g) brown sugar or dehydrated cane juice

1 Tbsp (15g) baking powder

1 tsp (6g) salt

1/2 cup (60g) whole wheat flour

1/2 cup (60g) unbleached white flour

1/2 cup (120g) nonfat plain yoghurt

3/4 cup (180mL) low-fat buttermilk

1 Tbsp (15mL) melted butter or margarine or rape seed oil

Directions

Combine beaten eggs, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and stir well.

In a separate bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, unbleached white flour, oats and cornmeal.

Add yoghurt, buttermilk and melted butter to the egg mixture and stir. Fold in the flour mixture just until blended. Don’t overmix!
