Oatmeal Pancake Mix

My friend, Jen, shared this recipe with me--she picked it up out of American Profile a while back. This is a great mix to have on hand (just store the mix in a ziptop bag) and this mix recipe makes about 5 batches of pancakes.

Mix:

*4 c. old-fashioned oats

*2 c. all-purpose flour

*2 c. whole-wheat flour

*1 c. packed brown sugar

*1 c. instant dry milk (1/2 c. regular dry milk)

* 3 TBSP. baking powder

*2 TBSP. cinnamon

*5 tsp. salt

*1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Pancakes:

*2 eggs

*1/3 c. canola oil

*2 c. pancake mix

*1 c. water

Mix all the ingredients for the mix together. Store until ready to use.

To make the pancakes, beat eggs in a large bowl. Gradually beat in oil. Alternately add pancake mix and water to mixture. Blend well. Preheat and oil a griddle. Pour 1/3 c. batter per pancake onto griddle. Cook until bubbles form around edges, turn and continue to cook until done. This will make about 10 pancakes. Keep in mind these are very filling and most will only be able to eat 1-2 cakes. We like to serve them with strawberries and blueberries or good old maple syrup.
