Oatmeal Pancakes

One of my all time favorite foods is pancakes.  They are so delicious with syrup, or butter and powdered sugar, or Nutella, or just about any way you make them.  Now I am the ultimate fan of the old fashioned Bisquick pancake that my mom made and now I make, all the time.  However, sometimes I like to mix things up a bit.  So I came across a recipe for some Oatmeal Pancakes, jazzed it up a bit and ended up with this quite delicious and somewhat healthier (I did say somewhat) version.

Oatmeal Pancakes
Yield about 12 pancakes

Ingredients
1 cup instant oats
1/4 cup whole wheat or white flour
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 egg
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk*
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp melted butter

*add more or less milk depending on how thick or thin you like your pancakes.  This recipe makes slightly thick pancakes.

Directions
Combine all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl and stir together.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk.  Add it to the dry ingredients and whisk until blended.
Heat a nonstick pan or griddle to a medium heat.
Pour about three tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan.
Turn when the little bubbles rise to the top and the edges are dull.
Cook for another minute or so until the bottoms are slightly brown.
Enjoy with the toppings of your choice, or just plain.
