At Ann Marie's request (great to see you, by the way!!), I am posting our oatmeal pancake recipe. It is actually from Runners' World, and is entitled "America's Healthiest Breakfast". So you can't go wrong! This is our go-to recipe . . . though we usually just eat it with real maple syrup, vice the homemade blueberry syrup in the recipe. Enjoy! :)
Soak 1 1/2 cups rolled oats in 1 cup of buttermilk in a small bowl for 15 minutes. (You know the buttermilk trick, right? To make homemade buttermilk, just put 1 TBSP of vinegar into a 1 cup measure and fill it the rest of the way up with milk. Let sit 5 minutes and WALLA! Buttermilk!) :)
Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Whisk 2 large eggs together with 2 large egg whites (who are we kidding here. I just use 4 whole eggs. Why leave out the most nutritious part??!) in a small bowl and stir in 1 1/2 cups milk.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir. Fold in soaked oatmeal.
Cook! :)
For Wild Blueberry Sauce: Combine 2 cups frozen wild blueberries, thawed, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 TBSP fresh lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries pop. Stir in 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. Enjoy.
P.S. Made it with very little of the sugar today, and we didn't notice a difference. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping up with the posts, Kathy! I am so glad you posted this recipe. I was just thinking of making this tomorrow for Nathan's big second day of school. My little man is all grown up in his cute little uniform. Sigh...we are getting old.
ReplyDeleteHope your crew transitioned to their school schedule smoothly.
How did his first day go, Betty??! (And more importantly, how did YOU do with his first day??!) :)
