Oatmeal Pancakes

I was flipping through one of my church like cookbooks the other day and came upon a oatmeal pancake  recipe that I thought was intriguing.  I changed it up a bit and came up with my own version.  Katie was at a service project that morning.  Honestly, I don't know if she would like them.  She is not a fan of whole grains.  Ian on the other hand had six, and said they weren't his favorite, but he liked them.  Brian thought they were good as well.  I thought they were pretty good too.  The flavor reminded me of a bran muffin, maybe it was the molasses in them?  I also think if your family likes dried fruit raisins or blueberries would be really good here.  I'm really glad that I gave this pancake recipe a go, it's nice to mix up our Saturday morning brunch recipes.  I always feel good about serving my family healthy food.  Give this recipe a try, your family just might like them.

Oatmeal Pancakes

1 cup Old-Fashioned Oatmeal (processed in the food processor)

1/2 cup Old-Fashioned Oatmeal

1/2 cup Whole-Wheat Pastry Flour

1 Tablespoon Canola Oil

1 Tablespoon Molasses

1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt

1 1/2 cup Skim Milk

1/2 cup luke warm water

1 Egg

1 Tablespoon Honey

2 Tablespoons Ground Flax Seed

Mix all the ingredients together and let sit for about 10 minutes.  Heat a cast-iron skillet and add a bit of butter.  Ladle on skillet and cook until golden brown.  Serve with pure maple syrup.  I got 13 medium size pancakes out of this batter. Enjoy!
