Oatmeal Pancakes

We have had these pancakes three of the last four weekends, and I don't think I will ever go back to regular pancakes after trying these! They are more hearty and tastier than regular pancakes. We've been substituting some of the oats for Trader Joe's Multi-Grain Mix (Rye, Barley, Oats, and Wheat), which gives them that much more flavor. It is essential to make the batter at least 8 hours ahead, or else the consistency of the batter is off. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 C buttermilk (or 2 Tbsp lemon juice + enough milk to make 2 cups, warmed)

2 eggs

2 Tbsp oil

2 Tbsp sugar

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 C oats

1/2 C flour

Directions:

1.) Combine buttermilks, eggs, oil, and sugar. Mix well.

2.) Add remaining dry ingredients (soda, powder, salt, oats, flour).

3.) Stir just until fully moistened.

4.) Cover and place in refrigerator for 8-24 hours.

5.) Cook as normal pancakes on griddle.

Makes 3 dozen small pancakes.
