Oatmeal Packet Pancakes
Oatmeal Packet Pancakes combine instant oatmeal with basic baking ingredients to create fluffy pancakes with a slightly hearty texture. The use of baking powder provides lift, making these pancakes soft and airy, while the oatmeal adds a subtle earthiness and whole grain touch. This recipe is practical for using single-serving oatmeal packets and yields a small batch suitable for a quick breakfast or snack. Cooking on medium heat allows the pancakes to develop gentle browning with bubbles forming on the surface as a sign to flip, ensuring an even cook through.
Ingredients
- 1 instant oatmeal Quaker® Organic brand, packet
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder not baking soda
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine Quaker® Organic Instant Oatmeal packet, flour, egg, milk, sugar and baking powder. Stir to combine, but do not over mix. Mixture may appear to "foam" a bit, from the baking powder. This is what helps make your pancakes fluffy.
- Spray a griddle or pan with non-stick cooking spray, then place a skillet or pan on medium heat. Scoop pancake batter (I like using an ice cream scoop) into pan. You can make two large size pancakes or three medium size pancakes. Cook until edges start to brown and bubbles form. Flip to cook on other side. Remove from pan, repeat with remaining batter and serve with toppings of your choice.
