Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes - toddler friendly!

These were a big hit with the girls. They're adapted from a recipe in the original Laurel's Kitchen cookbook - one that I grew up with.

Buttermilk Oatmeal Pancakes
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup quick oats

1 tablespoon canola oil
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 cup flour (can use whole wheat)
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Combine the buttermilk and oats in a bowl and let stand at least 5 minutes.

Add the oil and beaten eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Stir in the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Bake on a hot, buttered griddle, using 1/4 - 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake. Turn them when the top is bubbly and the edges are slightly dry.

YUM! We broke them into pieces for the girls but I'm looking forward to the day when we can make the pancakes a little smaller and then just hand the girls a whole one.
