These Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancakes are delicious!
They are loved by both big and little people in our family.

I snatched this recipe from Keeper of the Home - a blog I follow.

4 cups old fashioned oats

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup packed brown sugar (or other dry sweetener)

1 cup instant dry nonfat milk

3 Tablespoons baking powder

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

5 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Mix these ingredients together in a large bowl.

Use hands to mix in brown sugar well.

Store the mix at room temperature in an airtight container or gallon-sized freezer bag.

Yield: 10 cups of pancake mix.

Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancakes

2 eggs

1/3 cup applesauce

2 cups of Oatmeal Cinnamon Pancake Mix (recipe above)

1 cup water

Optional: one mashed banana or fruit of your choice

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Gradually beat in applesauce. Alternately add mix and water to mixture. Blend well. Preheat and oil griddle. Pour 1/3 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form around edges, flip and cook until done.

Yield: about 10 pancakes

(Alternative: Leave out the powdered milk when making the mix. Substitute with 1 cup of milk or buttermilk for the cup of water when mixing with the wet ingredients.)

(Make Ahead Idea: I have mixed the wet ingredients with the dry the night before. I like how the flavors meld together)

ENJOY!
