OAMC IHOP Harvest Grain 'n Nut Pancakes Copycat

This recipe is multiplied from AmyZoe's recipe to provide a large amount of mix (4 quart container). I break this recipe down so that the dry mix can be made ahead. If you want to make up all the pancakes at once and then freeze in batches with waxed paper between, you could do that too. We like to serve it with fruit or butter and syrup or peanut butter and syrup.

• 1  tablespoon  blanched almond, finely chopped
• 1  cup walnuts, finely chopped
• 1  tablespoon walnuts, finely chopped
• 8 3⁄4 cups water
• 2 1⁄3 cups milk
• 1 3⁄4 cups  vegetable oil
• 14  eggs

Directions

1. 1. Grind the oats in blender or food processor (we use Magic bullet) until fine, like flour.
2. 2. Combine oat flour, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, buttermilk powder, and salt in very large bowl.
3. 3. Chop nuts if not done yet, then mix into dry mix.
4. 4. If storing, store in well-sealed container. For 2 1/2 cups mix, add 1 1/4 cups water, 1/3 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, and 2 eggs.
5. 5. To prepare, lightly oil skillet or griddle and preheat to medium heat.
6. 6. For batter, add water, milk, oil and eggs. Mix until well-combined. Batter will have lumps.
7. 7. Ladle 1/3 cup of batter on hot skillet and cook pancakes for 1 to 3 minutes per side or until lightly brown. I flip pancakes after the edges start to firm and the center starts to bubble for the first side. I don't cook the second side as long as the first.
