  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over-mix.
  • Pour 1/4 cup batter onto hot pan for each pancake. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.

Notes

Smart Shopping Tips
  • Oats can be purchased in several forms: steel-cut, rolled (or old-fashioned) and quick. All forms have the same nutritional value, but they differ in cooking times and texture. Quick oats have been steamed, dried and rolled into flakes so they cook quickly.
Cooking & Serving Tips:
  • Pancakes can be frozen. Place a sheet of waxed paper between pancakes and place in freezer-safe container or bag. Date package and use within six weeks. Warm pancakes in microwave or toaster.
  • Add a few tablespoons of nuts to add some crunch.
  • Top pancakes with fruit, apple sauce, fruit puree or a drizzle of maple syrup.
