Weekday Oatmeal Pancakes
My 16-month-old daughter loves her oatmeal in the morning! But she’s still at an age where giving her a spoon equals oatmeal in the hair, so I have to feed her myself. This is fine, but there are mornings where I’d rather hand her something she can eat with her hands.
The solution: put the oatmeal in pancakes! I found this great recipe from Cooking Light and adapted it a bit and the results were delicious! My daughter crams these in her mouth faster than she can chew and I don’t even put syrup on them!
Whip up a double batch and freeze some to take out whenever you need a pancake fix!
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup flour
