Toddler Favorite Oatmeal Pancakes Or Waffles Recipes

OATMEAL PANCAKES

Steps:

• If you'd like to keep the pancakes warm between batches, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Place the oil, Greek yogurt, milk, 1 1/4 cups oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a blender.
• Blend until the batter is smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Continue blending until you don't see any remaining bits of oats.
• Stop the blender, stirring the remaining 3/4 cup oats and any desired mix-ins. Do not blend again. Let the batter sit for 10 minutes while you heat the skillet/griddle and prep any toppings.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly butter or oil the pan if needed (some nonstick pans do not need this).
• Once the skillet is hot, drop the batter by 1/4 cupful into the pan. Let cook gently for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side, until the pancakes look dry at the edges and small bubbles form on top.
• Gently flip, then cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes. They should look golden on both sides. If desired, transfer the pancakes to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven between batches. Repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve hot with desired toppings.

TODDLER FAVORITE OATMEAL PANCAKES OR WAFFLES

Steps:

• Pour milk over oats and let stand 8-10 minutes. (skip if using quick oats).
• Beat in eggs, oil, then remaining ingredients except baking powder.
• Add baking powder and only stir until incorporated.
• Wait until it looks a bit puffy (this will make the cakes a tad fluffier but sometimes I don't bother and they're good, too).
• Warm up griddle on medium low (these pancakes take a bit longer to cook than typical pancakes and my first several batches were dark brown because my old stove was hard to control).
• Add a bit of butter to melt in the griddle.
• Cook em up!
• I use a 1/4 cup measure.
• For the toddlers I let them dip in baby yogurt or applesauce.
• I send leftovers in my preschoolers Laptop Lunchbox with PB&J!
