Recipe: Oatmeal Pancakes with Apples and Cinnamon

If you’re looking for a light and fluffy pancake, then you’re looking in the wrong place.

While these pancakes won’t rival your local pancake house version or my classic pancake recipe, they are guaranteed tender and flavorful, and packed with good-for-you oats.

Mr. Breakfast sums up the health benefits of choosing oatmeal for breakfast beautifully. Top on the list for me is that it can lower cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease. Both health issues run in my family.

But plain old oats can be plain old boring, so this morning I turned them into a pancake!

There is a trick to making sure these pancakes cook through and aren’t gooey in the middle. Instead of cooking them over a higher heat as you typically would, cook them over a medium heat.

They’ll take longer to finish, but you’ll have apples and oats that are tender and not crunchy.

Dripping with 100% maple syrup,  I can see these pancakes becoming a morning tradition in our house. Give them a try and let me know what you think, I love hearing from you. Simply leave a comment in the box below.
