The other morning when it dipped down into the 40’s here in FL, I made an oatmeal bar for the kids’ breakfast. I cooked up a large pot of whole oats and added a bit of vanilla and ground flax. The center of the table was set with a large cutting board filled with raisins, chopped dates, chopped almonds, unsweetened coconut, and honey. With all those goodies to add to the oats, there was about 2 cups of oatmeal left. I am not one to waste, so I knew I could make pancakes from them and my first shot was a success! Here is what I added…
Leftover Oatmeal Pancakes
-
2 cups leftover oatmeal
-
1 cup organic whole wheat flour
-
1/2-3/4 cup almond milk (depending on consistency of your oatmeal)
-
1 egg, beaten
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
-
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix flour, baking powder and soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together. Add in oatmeal, egg, and 1/2 cup almond milk. Stir. If too dry, add more milk a little at a time until you achieve a consistency that is think enough too pour, but not too runny. Scoop about 1/3 cup of better onto a well-oiled skillet (I used coconut oil). Cook over medium heat and flip when edges begin to dry. Turn only once and allow the other side to brown. Serve with your favorite nut butter and pure maple syrup.

When we went to Asheville this summer, we discovered SOOOOOO many wonderful farm-to-table restaurants. Our favorite spot was Sunny Point Cafe. They have their own garden right next to the restaurant!
I had a wonderful “burger” of chickpeas, corn, walnuts, and carrots served with homemade green ketchup , and Scott had an ahi tuna burger that had generous chunks of fish throughout.
We were all overly happy with our meals. Anna’s pancakes were the talk of the table because of their sweetness and crispy outside. A re-creation of these flapjacks were a must! After a little internet research, I discovered that crispy pancakes require a hot oiled skillet and a thinner batter so they can cook through without burning. With a little bit of new found knowledge and some carrots and a grater in hand, I tackled this new recipe last week and the breakfast table was all smiles when the pancakes were served 🙂
Crispy Sweet Carrot Pancakes
-
-
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
-
1 cup water
-
1 cup grated carrots
-
3 tablespoons ground flax seed
-
3 Tablespoons clean oil
-
1 teaspoon vanilla
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
Coconut oil
Heat a skillet to a high temperature. I set mine at 380 degrees. Oil skillet with coconut oil (I love the flavor of the slightly sweet coconut oil with the carrots!) Place milk, water, oil, vanilla and flax into a large mixing bowl. Allow to sit a few minutes. Add in pancake mix and cinnamon and stir until just combined. Gently fold in carrots. Pour batter into circles (I use about 1/3 cup of batter per pancake) onto the skillet. Flip once edges begin to dry. Allow to cook an additional 2-3 on the other side. If they are crisping up but not cooking through, add a bit of water or milk until batter is thinner. I gave a few pancakes a try before I filled the whole skillet and found I needed to thin the batter out. Serve immediately with pure maple syrup or honey. You can freeze these for later on as well – wrap in foil and place in a freezer bag.
