We’ve become big pancake eaters in our house. My husband is sort of the breakfast master these days and Kenya loves getting into the action as his Daddy’s sous chef. Many mornings I come down to the kitchen at the crack of dawn only to find the two of them partaking in their own little IHOP, and I have to say they’re giving me a run for my money. Blueberry, banana, strawberry, even raspberry pancakes — my boys have been on a roll. So, I set out to beat them at their own game. Or at least come up with something equally yummy.

This recipe takes no time to put together and it’s a perfect opportunity to let your kids help you cook_ whisking and dumping the dry and wet ingredients into a bowl is great fun for them. I liked the idea of using oatmeal in these pancakes as they add great texture and flavor. Not only is the end result delicious, they’re also healthy and packed with nutritious ingredients that are the perfect start to a kid’s busy day!

Take that boys!

  2. No buttermilk, no problem! Like others I used milk and added vinegar as a substitute for buttermilk but my batter was still super runny. I ended up making the following substitutions and they were delicious – kids ate them up!
    1 cup oats (instead of 3/4)
    Added 1 tbsp vanilla
    1 1/2 cups milk + 1 1/2 tbsp white vinegar (instead of buttermilk)
    1 mashed banana
    Also added blueberries

    Cooked them with a little coconut oil and served with blueberry yogurt.

    This will be a new breakfast staple in our home for sure!

  3. I made these this morning and they were a hit with my hubby and my three year old. Thank you!

  4. I love these pancakes and make them once a week for my kids. I add one mashed banana and a teaspoon of cinnamon. They’re everyone’s favorite, including my husband!
