-17. That's how cold it was in my car on Sunday morning.
And while I am here in freezing cold Pennsylvania, my parents and sister are in Texas watching the Women's National Soccer team play their Olympic qualifying games! At least I have my adorable puppy who loves to hop through the snow and these amazing pancakes.
I don't usually have pancake mix in my pantry, because I don't make pancakes often enough to make them before the mix expires. I wanted to find a few great pancake recipes that use ingredients that I always have on hand. Boy, did I hit the jackpot!! I absolutely love these oatmeal pancakes. I actually sometimes double the recipe just so that I can freeze them and eat them later!
I also wanted to add another favorite pancake recipe for those amazing and simple, good, old-fashioned pancakes!
I hope you enjoy them both!
To freeze pancakes, stack 2-3 pancakes with pieces of waxed paper between them. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the freezer. To reheat, place the pancakes in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 30 seconds and flip the pancakes over. Heat for another 30 seconds and enjoy!
