Harvest Oat & Nut Pancakes

So I've decided to do a little experimenting in the kitchen and I've been in the mood for PANCAKES!

I love to make different flavored pancakes, don't you?

I can remember when we used to go to I HOP and I would order these Harvest grain and oat something or other pancakes and they were soooooo yummy.  I decided to try and duplicated these first.

I also tried something new with these pancakes and that was to use self-rising flour instead of all purpose flour with baking powder, etc.  They turned out great!  Nice and fluffy and pillow soft :)

These pancakes were super yummy and I hope you'll like them as much as I do.

Here's what you need:

1 cup self rising flour
2 Tbs. sugar
1/4 cup oatmeal, I use instant
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1-1/4 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 lg. egg, room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

In a bowl mix the flour, oatmeal, salt, and nuts.  Set aside.

In a medium bowl place the buttermilk, sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla and mix until completely combined.

 

Mix in the flour mixture until completely combined.  If it's too thick add a little more buttermilk.

 

Heat a skillet on medium low to medium or 350 degrees if using an electric griddle. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or ladle place the batter in 3-1/2 inch circles and cook until slightly dry on the edges (about 2-3 minutes) then flip. 

 

Cook on the second side until they are pillowy soft to the touch about another 1-2 minutes.

Then stack em' up and cover with butter and syrup, or your favorite pancake accompaniment, and devour.

Serves 8 approximately, depending on size

Enjoy!
