After a fun night, (and a funner morning, wink, wink) we rolled out of bed to make coffee and create breakfast. Our brunches tend to be egg and veggie based, but the fridge being a bit bare left Avery holding a red apple and saying, "What can we make with this?" Being the oatmeal pancake lover that I am, I said, "Jack Daniel's Apple Compote!" And so the morning began...
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes for 2
- 1/2i-sh cup flour (pref. organic wheat)
- 1/2 cup of rolled oats
- 1 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 1 tablespoons of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
- 1/3 cup of raisins
- 1 cups of milk (buttermilk is even better!)
- 1 egg
1. Stir together dry ingredients.
2. Add milk and beaten egg.
3. Preheat oven to 200. (so you can keep the pancakes warm after you make them)
4. Heat skillet to just over medium and grease pan with butter (yes, butter, just this once...)
5. Pour pancake-sized dollop of batter in skillet.
6. When it starts to get bubble on top, flip the cake.
7. Cook until golden brown on each side.
8. Place cake on plate or pan in the oven.
9. Repeat 5-7 times until out of batter and all pancakes are made. (for us this usually makes about 3 apiece - WAY more than we can eat!)
