Oatmeal Pancakes


A hearty pancake that provides over 6 grams of fiber per serving. I like to add blueberries to the batter. Very kid-friendly recipe!

Minutes to Prepare: 10
Minutes to Cook: 5
Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
  • 1 1/4 cup skim milk (can use substitute buttermilk for half the milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tbsp light olive oil
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder


Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix oats with milk, let stand 5 minutes. 
  2. Add egg and oil, then mix. 
  3. Add dry ingredients and mix until just blended. 
  4. Drop by 1/4 cup measure, flatten and shape a bit, and cook on hot, nonstick skillet until brown. Flip and cook on the other side until golden.


Top with topping of choice: maple syrup, preserves, yogurt, applesauce, etc (not included in nutrition count.)


Optional: For an antioxidant boost, add 1/2 cup blueberries to the batter before cooking (not included in nutrition count).
