Whole Grain Buttermilk Pancakes

2/3 cup whole wheat flour, unsifted
1/4 cup oat bran (or part flax meal and wheat germ)
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons corn oil
nonstick cooking spray

1. In a medium size bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oat bran/flax/wheat germ, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg yolks and oil.
2. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
3. Stir in the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture. Fold in the egg whites.
4. Lightly coat a skillet with cooking spray and set over moderate heat. When the skillet is hot, cook the pancakes 4 at a time, using 1/4 cup batter for each.
5. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side or until bubbles appear on the surface; turn, then cook 2 minutes or until golden brown on each side and cook through.

I made this this morning and it wasn't terrible. I've tried other recipes and didn't have as much luck. These work and they definitely taste whole grain but they don't taste like bricks either.
