Oatmeal Pancakes

Since Saturday I have been wanting pancakes!! I think this idea may be linked to me cleaning out the fridge and finding syrup hiding in the back while also buying Bisquick this past week. We were almost out of milk and I feel bad that my husband doesn't have any of his favorite cereals in the house, so I thought I would try to make pancakes. I knew I wouldn't be mentally able to get up early enough in the morning to make him pancakes so if I made just regular ones they most likely wouldn't taste good the next day. So, I thought of trying this out. I love oatmeal sooooo much that I used to eat it EVERY single week day for over a year. I finally grew sick of it! (same goes for strawberry Nutrigrain bars.) These pancakes will be a little dense so you can make them the night before and just pop them in the micro for like 30 seconds then put on some maple syrup and they taste just like they came out of the pan! I think the dense texture prevents them from getting all soggy and weird! 

Please try the recipe and let me know what you all think!

1 cup Bisquick

1 cup of quick cook oats

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup of buttermilk

1 egg

1. Mix Bisqucik and oats together in a medium bowl

2. Add vanilla, egg and buttermilk. ( I made 1 cup butter milk by adding 1 Tbsp. vinegar and then filling the milk up to the 1 cup line) 

3. Once smooth, heat a medium skillet with a Tbsp. of butter and tsp of olive oil.

4. When butter begins to bubble, using a 1/4 cup scoop out the batter into circles onto the hot skillet.

5. Once bubbles begin to show on the tops of the pancakes, flip them over and cook for around 2-3 minutes or until brown.

6. Turn your heat down so the butter left in the empty skillet does not burn. If the skillet looks dry, add more butter and/or oil and repeat with the rest of the batter.

7. Eat warm with syrup or top with strawberries, blueberries or bananas!
