oatmeal pancakes

I had to share this yummy recipe! James and I went running yesterday morning and when we got back I was craving pancakes (but didn't want to defeat the run we just did). We just got our September Cooking Light and there was a recipe for oatmeal pancakes! I personally LOVE oatmeal, so I thought they were wonderful!

Ingredients

• 1.1 ounces all-purpose flour (1/4 cup)
• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup nonfat buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine the first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.

2. Combine buttermilk, butter, and egg in a small bowl. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

3. Heat a nonstick griddle over medium heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Spoon about 2 1/2 tablespoons batter per pancake onto griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles; cook until bottoms are lightly browned.

I also made a skirt today! I am really happy with how it turned out! Pictures will be coming soon...
