Healthy Oatmeal Pancakes for Healthy Kids

Pancakes have a bad rap for being pure empty carbs, but these Oatmeal Pancakes break the mold by delivering great nutrition! They’re made from 100% whole grains, including fiber-rich whole wheat flour and rolled oats. Whole grains provide extra vitamins and minerals for your kiddos at breakfast, and they also keep your kids energy levels sustained over time. Top these pancakes with fresh fruit and you have an even more nutrient-dense breakfast!

How to Make Oatmeal Pancakes

Mixing up the batter for these pancakes is just like mixing up any pancake batter… almost. You’ll need to pulse your rolled oats in a blender before you add them to the bowl, so the consistency of the oats matches the rest of your dry ingredients.

(For those averse to creating extra dishes, you can totally get away with just swishing out the blender cup with water afterwards. Dry oats don’t make much mess!)

Once your oats are ground, mix together the remaining dry ingredients, then fold in the wet ingredients, gently. A couple of lumps are OK… under-mixing just slightly actually helps keep your pancakes fluffy.

Ladle your batter into a buttered skillet ¼ cup at a time, and sprinkle each pancake with a few blueberries. When the pancakes start to look dry around the edges, give them a flip. One more minute on the skillet, and they’re ready for your hungry little ones.

Got extra Oatmeal Pancakes? OK right, probably not. BUT if you do, throw them in sandwich bags and freeze them for a snack emergency on another day. They’ll heat back up in just a minute or two in the toaster oven.

Enjoy!
