Oat Pancakes

I'm addicted to these hearty pancakes - usually grabbing one cold as a snack or as breakfast on the go. They are easy to make, and store well in the refrigerator or freezer. They are gluten free (for those who need that) and they even have a little protein! Feel free to add fruit or chocolate chips or whatever you usually add to your pancakes. The recipe for these pancakes in original form can be found on wellplated.com. 

Oat Pancakes

Mix all of the following in a blender:

• 2 tablespoons oil of choice (liquid or melted)
• 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir in another 3/4 cup rolled oats (and any additional items you want to add), and let stand for 10 minutes before cooking as you usually do pancakes. Using a 1/4 cup measure helps keep them all the same size. The batter will be THICK but that is okay.
