This recipe is a great one if you are having friends over (or if you have a lot of children!) because it makes so many pancakes, and with the oats and whole wheat, you feel a little better about serving them. If we make it for our family alone, the leftovers are still great popped into the toaster through the week for a quick breakfast or snack. My mother-in-law gave me the Robin Hood Home Baking cookbook last year for my birthday, which is where I got this yummy recipe. And I haven't made anything in that cookbook yet that hasn't turned out to be delicious. This one, however, is the recipe that we most often prepare!
The necessities. And despite the supermarket egg carton, those are farm fresh eggs from the Summerside Farmers Market! |
Oatmeal Whole Grain Pancakes - adapted from Robin Hood Home Baking
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
2 cups milk (*or almond milk, if you're dairy free*)
3 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbsp brown or granulated sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon
In a small bowl, combine milk and oats. Set aside until milk is mostly absorbed. Meanwhile, preheat your griddle to about 350 F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well.
Add eggs, oil, and vanilla to oat mixture. Beat well. Add oat mixture to flour mixture all at once, mixing until smooth.
I promise I put vanilla in there too! Just not before I took this picture. |
Here it is, ready for the griddle. |
Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles break on the surface and bottoms are golden, turn and cook for 2 or so minutes more until bottoms are lightly browned. Serve hot with maple syrup, fresh fruit, yogurt, caramelized apples, whipped cream, etc.

I'm so glad I found this recipe! I had bought a mix from a fundraising group and loved it so much. I just mixed up the dry ingredients and poured it into my same container for easy and convenient breakfast! Thanks for this!
