Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes

February 10, 2014 ·

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a hearty oatmeal buttermilk pancake studded with chocolate chips!

Every Valentine’s Day, I like to make something special for my family, whether it’s a breakfast treat or a special dessert. These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes combine the two – they taste like a chewy, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in pancake form. This recipe is adapted from my Oatmeal Raisin Pancake recipe, so they are a bit healthier, with a little decadence from the chocolate chips. For the ultimate indulgence, I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Chips (60% Cacao). The smooth, rich bites of chocolate studded throughout the oatmeal buttermilk pancakes really made them delicious! In fact, I used these same baking chips in my Chocolate Malt Bread Pudding recipe, and they really add such a deep, wonderful chocolate flavor. …

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Pancakes

January 17, 2013 ·

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Pancakes are an easy, healthy, delicious breakfast treat that taste like oatmeal raisin cookies. Yum! They are made with the hearty goodness of oatmeal and whole wheat flour, sweetness from brown sugar and raisins and buttermilk, which of course makes everything good.

The first morning after I made these, Adam polished off six pancakes. In fact, he ate that first batch so quickly, I wasn’t able to get any pictures. Because he loved them so, I made another batch a couple days later. Fortunately, one afternoon I found myself with three pancakes and a good napper, so I was able to quickly snap some pics to share this wonderful recipe with you!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Pancakes

Yields: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 cups quick oats
2 cups buttermilk
½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ cup raisins

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine oats and buttermilk and let sit for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
After 5 minutes, add eggs, oil and vanilla to buttermilk mixture, whisking until combined.
Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring until just moistened (Note: batter may be lumpy). Add raisins, folding until combined. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Preheat nonstick skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Spoon batter onto skillet by the ¼ cupful (adjust to desired size) (Note: If batter is a little thick, use the back of your spoon to spread/shape the pancakes). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden.

Banana Bread Pancakes

July 24, 2012 ·

I love having extra bananas around the house because inevitable it means they will be made into something yummy. In this instance, I turned them into Banana Bread Pancakes. I have been looking for a good banana pancake recipe for years and, as usual, have never found what I was hoping for. I decided to modify my go-to pancake base recipe, mix a few things up, go heavy on the bananas and see what happens. The result are a healthy banana pancake that tastes just like banana bread. They are delicious plain (that’s how Adam likes them) but for myself, I whipped up a little cream cheese drizzle from my Carrot Cake Pancakes. No matter how you top them, these Banana Bread Pancakes are simply delicious. Adam also gives his official toddler seal of approval, which is always a win in my book!

Banana Bread Pancakes

Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients

1½ cups whole wheat pastry flour (or all-purpose flour)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup low fat buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon oil
3 to 4 overripe bananas, mashed (approx 1½ cups)
Cooking spray

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, oil and mashed bananas until well-blended.
Add flour mixture to banana mixture, stirring gently until just moistened (batter may be lumpy). Let batter sit for about 10 minutes.
Preheat nonstick skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Spoon batter onto skillet by the 2 tablespoonfuls to ¼ cupful, depending on desired size (Note: If batter is a little thick, use the back of your spoon to spread/shape the pancakes). Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until bubbles form and the edges look set. Flip pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden.

Strawberry Banana Pancakes

June 22, 2012 ·

We recently picked up several pounds of strawberries from a local farm, and I’m chipping away at my long list of things to make. At the top of the list was pancakes, but not just any strawberry pancakes… Strawberry Banana Pancakes! I searched online for inspiration and found nothing, so I decided to just make something up. I took my standard pancake base recipe, combined it with my Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes and added some banana. The result is a Strawberry Banana Pancake made with a buttermilk pancake base, a good dose of vanilla, and a generous amount of chopped strawberries and mashed bananas. Such a delicious combination!

I never thought my little Adam would ever love any pancake more than Cottage Cheese Pancakes. Well, after making these Strawberry Banana Pancakes, I stand corrected. He devoured 4 pancakes with impressive speed and has been asking about them ever since.
