Oatmeal Pancakes

I felt like making oatmeal pancakes this morning, so I tried out this recipe.

Ingredients:

Pancakes:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup milk (I used 1 cup water + 4 tablespoons powdered milk)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for cooking
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Berry Sauce:

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 cup frozen mixed berries
• 2 - 4 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon corn starch (optional, to thicken)
  

 

Instructions:

1. Mix rolled oats and milk together in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes for the oats to soften. 
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and allow to cool.
3. Add the butter, 2 eggs, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar to the oats, stirring to combine. 
4. Mix the baking powder and salt into the flour.
5. Add the flour mix to the oatmeal mix, stir to combine.
6. Let stand for 5 minutes more. 
7.  Microwave berries until warm, cut the strawberries into smaller pieces. Taste, stir in sugar (and corn starch if using), and heat until thickened.
   
8. Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
9. Grease the pan with 1 teaspoon butter 
10. Drop and spead 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto the pan.
11. Cook about 3 minutes on the first side (until bubbles appear, the edges begin to look dry, and the bottoms are golden-brown)
12. Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden-brown, about 2 minutes more.
13. Serve with berry syrup, berries, or regular syrup.
    

 

Carole's Notes:

We liked this! I was looking for a healthier pancake with oatmeal in them, and these tasted fine, especially with the berry syrup!

This recipe makes about 9 pancakes, will serve about 2 people. (We had 2 spare pancakes)
