Original Fluffy Pancakes

My son has been asking for pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

“Cooper, what would you like for breakfast? Eggs or oatmeal?” Cooper replies “Umm…no egg, I want pancake.” This sweet little voice and jumbled sentences keeps me making pancakes for this little weasel. Than lunch time approaches and I ask Cooper if he would like some chicken, pear and yogurt for lunch. He quickly replies…””umm no, I want pancake.” Realizing he just had pancakes for breakfast I opt for my choice instead.

This cycle has been very continuous this past week and by all means, he got pancakes for dinner one evening. His sweet, tiny little body needs calories and I’m quick to force them down. Fine, you want pancakes, alright with me as long as we squeeze in our fruit and vegetables.

With this in mind, our pancake mix has been running low. I have been using our Blueberry Oat Pancake Mix until this morning when I was in need of making more. This time I opted for simple, original and delicious pancakes with this yummy recipe.

This sweet child not only steals my heart with his cute little voice but today he decided to surprise me with silence for a solid 15 minutes. Sneaking back to my room where I had last left him, I find him all snuggled in bed with the television on.

He managed to not only pull to covers up to his neck and settle in, but he also managed to flip the tv on begin scrolling through the channels. I started laughing because he has no clue how to turn the tv on as we only watch the movie Cars with him. He doesn’t watch cartoons or any other movies. He pushed the right button for once and got the tv to come on.

I put on a little preschool show for him and he quickly lost interest and proceeded to jump on the bed.

Silly goose. I was so shocked and thrilled that his silence was due to snuggling in bed! No messes made!

Cooper absolutely loves pancakes and the best part about all my mixes, is you can add eggs when cooking to add some protein and extra fluff.

Original Fluffy Pancakes 

For the mix:

  • 4 cups flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt

When cooking:

  • 1 eggs
  • 1 cup pancake mix
  • 1/2-3/4 cup milk

For the mix, combine all ingredients and store in a glass container.

When cooking mix all three ingredients together and cook on a griddle.

You will notice how fully they get…

Blueberry Oat Pancake Mix

Craving pancakes? Try these oat flour pancakes. In our household we can eat pancakes three times a week and never get sick of them. When I say “we” I mean, Cooper and I. Michael has to be in the mood for pancakes as he is our non carbohydrate man of the family. He could go without carbs for weeks where I can’t go a day without them. I love me some carbs and I love me some pancakes.

Ya’ll have probably caught on extremely quickly to my intense love for carbohydrates.

Ingredients:

  • 2 2/3 Cup Oat Flour
  • 2 2/3 Cup Unbleached Flour
  • 4 TBSP Baking Powder
  • 2 TSP Baking Soda
  • 1 TSP Salt
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar

Mix all ingredients together and keep in a glass container for the days you are craving pancakes.

 

Making Pancakes:

When you go to make your fluffy pancakes with oat flour you will want to have an egg on hand. This will add a bit of protein as well as help add some fluffiness.

  • 1 Cup Pancake Mix
  • 1 Egg
  • 3/4 Cup Milk (water works great if you want less calories)
  • Butter or Oil for the griddle
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen Blueberries

Mix everything together minus the blueberries. Once the mix is cooking on the griddle and beginning to bubble, top the pancake batter with a few blueberries. Continue to cook and flip when ready. Continue with each pancake.

*You can mix the blueberries directly into the batter, if doing so, mix frozen blueberries with 2 tablespoons flour to keep from discoloring your batter. I find it easier to wait for each pancake as you can eliminate tossing with flour. Personal preference. :)

These will help make your breakfast brighter knowing you have oat flour and an egg for added health benefits.

These fluffy pancakes are incredible. Served with syrup for the hubby and I. And for little Cooper– he had syrup with almond butter for added protein. Mmmm Delish!
