OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Place the oil, Greek yogurt, milk, 1 1/4 cups oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a blender.
• Blend until the batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Continue blending until you don't see any remaining bits of oats.
• Stop the blender, stirring the remaining 3/4 cup oats and any desired mix-ins. Do not blend again. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet/griddle and prep any toppings.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan if needed (some nonstick pans do not need this).
• Once the skillet is hot, drop the batter by 1/4 cupful into the pan. Let cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the pancakes look dry at the edges and small bubbles form on top.
• Gently flip, then cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. They should look golden on both sides. If desired, transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven between batches. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve hot with desired toppings.

HEALTHY OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Lightly oil an electric frypan or pancake griddle with no-stick cooking spray and heat.
• Whisk (wet ingredients) milk, oil, and eggs together; combine remaining (dry) ingredients and add them to the wet ingredients; stir to combine all.
• Pour 1/4 cup of batter at a time onto hot griddle to form 5-6" pancakes; cook until surface of pancakes is bubbled; flip pancakes over and cook until both sides are light golden brown.
• NOTES: The ratio of white flour to whole wheat flour can easily be varied (example: 1 cup white with 1/2 cup wheat flour) to suit your family's preference. Also, you may opt to use two whole eggs instead of fussing with egg whites. And for this recipe, your choice of either quick-cooking or regular old-fashioned oatmeal will work just fine.

HEALTHY OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• Heat milk or water until hot (if using water-I just used hot tap water). Add oats & set aside
• Mix remaining dry ingredients & add to oatmeal mixture
• Fold in egg whites and mix until well blended. I use my stick blender for a smoother batter; but that is optional! The batter is thick; depending on how long the oats have soaked you may want to add a little water to thin it out.
• Cook on a nice hot griddle!
• There are variations listed on the link provided above--you can add nuts, blueberries or protein powder! I am a "topper-" I spread natural peanut butter on top, sliced bananas & sugar free syrup!

• Beat all ingredients with hand beater or whisk just until smooth. (For thinner pancakes, stir in additional 2 to 4 tablespoons milk.)
• Spray griddle or 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat griddle to 375° or skillet over medium heat. (To test griddle, sprinkle with a few drops of water. If bubbles skitter around, heat is just right.)
• For each pancake, pour 3 tablespoons batter onto hot griddle. Cook pancakes until puffed and dry around edges. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown.
