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:

1. 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.
2. Beat egg in small bowl with whisk.
3. Add the brown sugar. Beat again until sugar is dissolved and mixture is light brown-ish.
4. Add the vanilla extract and the oil. Beat some more!
5. Add the milk. Beat beat beat!
6. Whisk in the flour. Aaaaand… beat.
7. Whisk in the oatmeal. Mix it up.
8. Pour the mixture into a liquid measuring cup of some sort.
9. 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.
10. Pour some of the batter onto it, however big you want your pancake to be.
11. Sprinkle however many chocolate chips you want on it.
12. When some little bubbles break on the top of the pancake, flip it over.
13. When the pancake rises enough that it’s all puffed out on the top, flip it over again.
14. 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.
15. 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!).
