Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes

Cinnamon Oatmeal Pancakes are a weekend favorite of ours. Oats, whole wheat flour, all purpose flour and cinnamon help form these delicious fluffy pancakes – serve with butter and maple syrup – you will be in heaven!

My family LOVES pancakes. My husband grew up eating them with his grandpa. We often make them on the weekends as they are a special treat – I’m not going to be making homemade pancakes before a school day…ya feel me? 

My husband usually makes a traditional pancake but I came across an oatmeal pancake recipe that I just had to try. We loved them. I tweaked it to our liking and now we have a family favorite cinnamon oatmeal pancake recipe!

I have always enjoyed pancakes but in recent years they have become even more enjoyable to me. I find myself ordering them at restaurants and craving them on the weekends. My girls LOVE them so perhaps that’s why I have grown to really love them, too! 

Although pancakes may not come across as the healthiest breakfast option, they are a great way to sneak some healthy ingredients into your diet or your kids diet – these are made with oats, whole wheat flour and I added ground flaxseed. No-one knows and we gobble them up. In fact the whole wheat flour and ground flaxseed compliment the warm flavor of cinnamon in this particular pancake very well!

I have one daughter who loves syrup and the other that actually prefers to eat them plain. Interesting right? I am a syrup gal – I douse my pancakes in all the syrup I can get. I prefer real maple syrup as the flavor is more robust than your typical grocery store maple syrup. 

I hope this recipe for cinnamon oatmeal pancakes becomes your family’s favorite on the weekends as well!
