"This healthy and flavourful recipe is from Gourmet Magazine (Feb. 2008). You can also use it to make waffles. If the batter is too thick, just add a little more buttermilk. Best with maple syrup, of course! ;)"

Very good pancakes. Fluffy yet filling with the oats. The maple syrup on top is a MUST in this recipe (and I normally don't use syrup on my pancakes). I did have to thin them out with an additonal 1/4 cup of buttermilk and used splenda brown sugar blend with great results. Thanks. I have frozen a ton of pancakes to pull out in a jiffy!
