Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Pancakes
I’m addicted to these. So’s Nathan. There’s your warning.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Heat large pan over medium-high heat on oven range. Spray with non-stick spray. Basically, do whatever you normally do to make normal pancakes.
- Beat egg in small bowl with whisk.
- Add the brown sugar. Beat again until sugar is dissolved and mixture is light brown-ish.
- Add the vanilla extract and the oil. Beat some more!
- Add the milk. Beat beat beat!
- Whisk in the flour. Aaaaand… beat.
- Whisk in the oatmeal. Mix it up.
- Pour the mixture into a liquid measuring cup of some sort.
- Make sure the pan/griddle/whatever you’re using is ready by tossing some little water droplets on it. If they skitter around, it’s ready.
- Pour some of the batter onto it, however big you want your pancake to be.
- Sprinkle however many chocolate chips you want on it.
- When some little bubbles break on the top of the pancake, flip it over.
- When the pancake rises enough that it’s all puffed out on the top, flip it over again.
- After… um… thirty seconds or so, it should be ready. You can check it out by cutting a bit into the middle and making sure it’s not batter anymore.
- Wait about a minute until you start eating the pancake. Not sure why, but it tastes better that way (and has an added bonus of not burning your mouth!).
