OK, I guess it’s time for me to jump in! If you’re going to start in on breakfast food I have to put in a plug for oatmeal pancakes. These are so easy and good for you, there are lots of variations, and they’re a nice break from traditional buttermilk pancakes.Oatmeal Pancakes
¾ cup flour ½ tsp. salt
¾ cup quick-cooking oats ¼ cup shortening
3 tblsp. brown sugar 1 egg
2 tsp. baking powder 1 cup milk
Mix all ingredients until well blended, let set for 10 minutes. Spoon onto hot griddle, turn when bottoms are golden. Makes 10 4” pancakes.
Variations – stir the following into the batter after mixing:
Ø 1 mashed banana and ¼ cup chopped nuts
Ø ½ cup raisins, ½ tsp. cinnamon, and ¼ tsp. cloves
Ø ½ cup dried cranberries, ½ tsp. allspice, and ¼ cup chopped pecans
Ø ½ cup chocolate chips
Ø ¾ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Ø Whatever else suits your fancy!
Congrats, Mom, you are the first person to officially post on here! Thanks, my friend! I love the healthier pancakes- Sounds like a winner for tomorrow's breakfast!
ReplyDeleteYum- They were really good. I think Matt told me how delicious they were about 4 times. No more Krusteez for us! Though, I was surprised you didn't have corn as an add in option! I didn't even know pancakes could come plain until I moved out! ;) Hope you don't mind I added a picture... Thanks again for posting!
