Oatmeal Pancakes

[Dude]

There is a lot of cheffing wisdom in this room but I thought I'd share one of my favorite weekend recipes. These pancakes cook like regular pancakes but they have a nice subtle, hearty flavor. They go well with syrup and eggs-n-sides and they speak for themselves with and touch of butter and sugar. I pulled the recipe from here.

Oatmeal Pancakes

Makes about 18 pancakes

3/4 cup oat flour (you can make this by pulsing rolled oats into a food processor or spice grinder until finely ground; 1 cup of oats yielded 3/4 cup oat flour for me)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon Kosher or coarse salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (plus extra for the pan)
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 cup cooked oatmeal
1 tablespoon unsulphured (not blackstrap) molasses or 1 tablespoon honey
2 large eggs

Whisk the dry ingredients (oat flour, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt) together in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk the butter, milk, cooked oatmeal, honey and eggs together until thoroughly combined. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Cook like regular pancakes...

Hell yeah. I make oatmeal pancakes about 3x per week. My kids love them and they work well as bike food too.

My "recipe" is quite different though. My pancakes are super-hearty. (Quantities approximate, I make them entirely on muscle memory at this point.)

1.5 cups flour
1 cup raw oats
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
dash of cinnamon

Mix that stuff all up in a bowl.

4 eggs, preferably at room temperature
1/2 cup greek yogurt (the secret ingredient in almost everything I cook)
1/2 cup milk
3 tbsp cooking oil

Mix that stuff up in a bowl, just enough so the eggs are mixed in. Combine the two bowls, then add however much water you need to make it the consistency of pancake batter. (How's that for a classic Dad recipe.)

Cook in a hot buttered skillet. Serve with blueberries, bananas, more greek yogurt, and maple syrup. Unless using as bike food, in which case just stick em in the fridge.

Nice, what kind of oats do you use?

We get 5 lb bags of "organic regular rolled oats" at the health food store. I use them (raw) in homemade bread too, and my wife makes granola. We go through about a bag a week. Maybe we will turn into (organic) horses.
