I just wanted to share this delicious recipe that is our family favorite. Adding oat flour makes for a very light and fluffy whole-grain pancake. The dry mix can be made in a large batch and stored in the pantry. This mix can also be used for waffles or turned into cookies.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

No one will guess these light and fluffy whole-grain pancakes are a healthier breakfast option. We topped ours with fresh blueberries and syrup but use your favorite toppings. We loved the option of making a larger batch of the dry ingredients and storing it in the pantry. It makes preparing these pancakes on a Sunday morning a breeze. If you can't find oat flour near you. Run rolled outs through a food processor until they resemble flour.
