OATMEAL PANCAKES
(adapted from Eat Well For $50 A Week by Rhonda Barfield)
INGREDIENTS
2 cups white flour (or 1 cup wheat + 1 cup white)
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 cup leftover oatmeal ( I have used up to 2 cups successfully by adding a little water to thin the batter.)
2 cups milk (I use 1 cup milk and 1 cup water)
1/2 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla (optional)
*To make this recipe gluten free, use 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix and skip the baking powder.
DIRECTIONS:
Combine dry ingredients (first four) in a large bowl. In a second bowl, beat together last four ingredients. Combine the two mixtures and blend until smooth.
For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter onto greased hot skillet. Cook until bubbles begin to form on top, turn and brown the other side.
These pancakes are super moist and delicious, and don’t even need syrup, but a side of fruit is the perfect complement! If you do want syrup, try my DIY syrup recipe here.

Thanks Traci! I’ll check out your blog.
Can you really taste the oatmeal or is it subtle due to being mixed in with the other ingredients? Wondering if this is the way I get my kids to eat oatmeal?
I can’t really taste the oatmeal at all. They are very sweet and yummy.
These were wonderful! I made apple oatmeal (oatmeal w/ shredded apples in it). That added just the right touch of sweetness. I decreased sugar to 1/4 c. YUMMY!
Thanks so much for letting me know that you liked them Andrea.
I love this idea! I’m always throwing away leftover oatmeal… Now I won’t. It would be easy to make these gluten free by adding gluten free pancake mix or all purpose baking mix instead of the flour. (I think I would skip the baking powder too)
Thanks Fran!
Fran, make sure you use GF oats too as well as the GF flour mix.
I have 7 kiddos and all love oatmeal but my nine year old. We just make him eat it anyway, but he found your pancake recipe and made it this morning. It was so simple and delicious we all love it! He made the batter all by himself and is now excited about having left over oatmeal=)

Yay! Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for this, I recently switched my two year old to Gluten & Dairy Free. I still needed to add at least 2 tsp baking powder with the gluten free recipe & used soy milk, I also added a banana & spices. Yum-O!
