June 2009--Oatmeal Waffles and Pancakes

I got this amazing oatmeal waffle recipe from Erin's blog and have made them over and over. I went to a healthy breakfast class and got a recipe for oatmeal pancakes that was almost identical to the waffle recipe, but nice to have if I want pancakes instead. Top with berries and whip cream, or some good ol' Mrs. Butterworth's.

Whole Wheat Oatmeal Waffles

1 c. oats
1 1/8 c. milk
1 heaping TB brown sugar
2 eggs
2TB canola oil
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

In a medium sized bowl, pour milk over oats. Let soften for 5 minutes. Add sugar, eggs, and oil. Mix well. Add dry ingredients, stir. Pour over lightly buttered waffle iron and cook until golden brown.


Oatmeal Pancakes


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

Combine milk and oats in a bowl and let stand at least 5 minutes. Add the oil and beaten eggs, mixing well; stir in flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Cook on griddle using 1/4 c. batter for each pancake. Makes 8-10 4" pancakes
