Heading into the weekend, I thought I would post an idea for breakfast. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day – both to eat and to prepare! But weekday breakfasts leave little to the imagination – there is nothing creative about a bowl of cereal! But on weekends, it’s a different story.
In our house, Saturday and Sunday are pancake days. Our favourite is a recipe I have from my Mom. “Mom’s Oatmeal Pancakes”. I have made this recipe countless times, and have finally perfected a version our family devours. (and it’s healthy and the kids don’t even realize it!)
So make a pot of coffee (with Bailey’s for a special holiday treat!), whip up a batch of these pancakes and enjoy your weekend!

How many pancakes does this make?
I noticed that there is no baking powder or soda in these pancakes. Do you really make them without a leavened? I would be interested in finding out. They sound so healthy and they look fabulous!
