Improved Overnight Pancake Recipe

My daughter begged me to serve her pancakes for her first day of school. Pancakes are usually a weekend treat, but how could I deny her, With all the craziness that goes on around here in the morning, I had to come up with something super easy. So, I read my own website - funny how I have to look things up that I have written, tested, eaten, etc. Blame it on mommy brain!

Back in February, I posted: Overnight Pancakes . One commenter had problems with the pancakes cooking through (as did I) so I reworked the recipe for Ruby's first day of school. The AWESOME thing about this pancake recipe (as opposed to many others) is that includes 1/2 whole grains in the form of whole oats.

Also, there is yogurt and eggs that pump up the nutritional value for a great start to the day. If you added Blueberries and some Which Peanut Butter is Healthiest, You can leave this in the fridge for a couple of days and then cook as needed or cook them all at once and pop them in the microwave. These are also a great anytime snack.

They look like a cookie, but aren't as laden with calories or sugar. Finally, the great thing about pancakes is that you get to eat a baked good without all the baking! They are done so fast and are a great replacement for an evil This Muffin Has a Dark Secret. Mix ingredients together in a large bowl.

Place in refrigerator overnight. In the morning pour batter in heated non-stick pan until bubbles begin showing on the surface. Turn pancake over with spatula - wait 2 minutes and serve.

See, I just make a huge batch of pancakes or waffles on the weekend and use the leftovers throughout the week. I freeze them, with waxed paper between each layer so I can get them apart later. Then I can pull out just as many as the kids want, heat them in the micro or toaster until hot.. Thirty seconds in the micro for pancakes, or a standard toast setting for waffles to get them crispy and they're ready to eat. Homemade pancakes and waffles without having to cook on a weekday morning.

We add sweet potatoes or bananas sometimes. I have found are completely un-needed. We also make extra on the weekends and freeze them! The kids love it, it's so easy and a great fast breakfast. Pop in the toaster or microwave. I just tried making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the frozen pancakes (Toasted) for a quick treat after school and before soccer practice.

They loved it because it was new and different. I've been buying Eggo's for our grab and go breakfast, I started with the whole wheat ones, but then I just got whatever was on sale and I've been thinking I should just make my own. We just toast them and add a little PB & J. It would be less expensive and I can choose the ingredients if I make my own. Thanks for the recipe, I can't wait to try it! Fage 0% yogart and skim milk in your recipe,

You can use any type of yogurt or milk in the recipe. Sorry I didn't include that. Do they have a lot of texture from the oatmeal or does soaking it overnight eliminate that, They have a little texture - but my kids don't mind it and I think it tastes really good. Give 'em a try!

Do you pour all the batter into the pan at once, making one giant pancake, I have a child that hates to eat anything that's been reheated, so I can't wait to try this recipe! Making them over the weekend and reheating doesn't work here, so thanks for the idea and the healthier recipe! Add-ins that I love are pumpkin pack and a dash of cinnamon! Thanks for the healthy recipe!
