Oatmeal Pancakes

Lennie's Note:

These are different and, in my opinion, delicious. Not a favourite with the men in my house (sigh) so I don't get to make them too often. ("Ew, wheat germ.") Hope your family likes them!

These pancakes were simply delicious and filling, and healthy to boot. I just didn't tell my "men" what was in the pancakes and they both loved them. Will definately make again.

Fabulous! They were fluffy and filling with a wonderful flavor. I used butter flavor cooking spray on my griddle for an extra layer of flavor. 5 stars+!

My favorite pancake recipe ever! So much flavor!! I only had old fashioned oats so I soaked them a bit longer (10 min) and it worked just fine. This recipe will be repeated!! Thanks for sharing!
