It's What's for Breakfast

Oatmeal Pancakes*

1 1/8 c. milk
1 c. rolled oats
2 T oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 T. brown sugar
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. salt

optional delicious extras (the more the better):
chopped apples (lots)
chopped walnuts
cinnamon
craisins

take it over the top toppers:
peanut butter
cinnamon
syrup
plain yogurt
cherry preserves

Combine the milk and rolled oats in a bowl and let them stand at least 5 minutes.
Add the oil and beaten eggs, mixing well. Then stir in the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Bake on a hot, lightly oiled griddle, using 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Turn them when the top is bubbly and the edges are slightly dry.
Makes 10 to 12 four-inch pancakes.

*be warned - these pancakes will make you stop and wonder how you ever managed to make it through a saturday morning without them - or life for that matter. they will creep into your thoughts during the week. they will ruin otherwise perfectly good bisquick pancake breakfasts with friends. they are a cross between a hike in the mountains and hug. a little pancake revolution in every bite. plus they make really great leftovers.
