Oatmeal Pancakes- Oatmealpalooza Continues
(Oatmeal pancakes with butter, maple syrup and raspberry sauce)
I know, I know! Another oatmeal recipe. But, what am I supposed to do with 8 pooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuunds of oatmeal? Damn Costco!
Find. More. Oatmeal. Recipes.
Tired. Of. Oatmeal. For. Breakfast.
But am I? As it turns out–no! I was a happy camper when I made ate these pancakes. I mean, really happy. I like pancakes. And waffles. But, frankly, I usually get bored with them after 3 bites. Not with these, however. The texture is phenomenal from soaking the oats overnight. To tell you the truth, when I looked at the oats and buttermilk after marinating all night, I thought “wow, this is so thick that I think I must have done something wrong”. But after adding the eggs, the mixture loosened up, then came together again once the dry ingredients were added. The honey and cinnamon added a delicious finish.

As bloggers, we all know how dissappointing it can be to put forth the effort to make and photograph a meal, only to have it come up short and be unworthy of publishing. Honestly, these are now my “go-to” pancakes. I am beyond pleased. I do hope that you try them!
(p.s. I think that these pancakes might be good for you too)
