I used skim milk rather than the water, ground the oats after measuring, used whole wheat flour and olive oil. Very good smothered in apple sauce!

Man, I thought these were delicious! I followed the recipe exactly (no apples). I tried three toppings: Strawberry jam w/sprinkle of confectioner's sugar(best), smothered in apple sauce (yummy!), and maple-flavored syrup (not so hot).

Oh my goodness these are amazing!!! I hate the texture of oatmeal but I keep looking for ways to eat more of its healthy goodness. These are filling and delicious! I added a bit more water than it called for and let the batter soak for a few minutes before dropping the batter on the griddle. This softens the oats a bit before cooking and gives them a great texture.

I loved this recipe!! I always thought you needed milk, not water, for waffles-but it worked out fine! I cut the recipe by a quarter & used 1/2 cup rolled oats (that made one big waffle-perfect for a one person meal), sugar free syrup for the molasses, applesauce for the oil, no salt & added 1 tsp cinnamon & 1/4 tsp vanilla. I also only used 1/2 tsp baking powder-which worked fine. I used my immersion blender to make it as smooth as possible-it's probably not as great as a food processor but it does the job well enough for me! I love this smeared with natural peanut butter, sliced bananas & sugar free syrup. Delicious!!

Wildheart! These are lovely, VERY hearty pancakes. I often shirk from traditional pancake recipes, as I have to eat quite a few to fill up. These are like a hot bowl of oatmeal, in disguise of a pancake - awesome! I'm going to add some spices, like ginger and cinnamon and see how they turn out. I'll be passing this recipe along to my diabetic mom. Thanks!
