My 2 year old son Liam is NUTS for these oat pancakes. He literally asks me for ‘Pan – Take’s every day. I find it easiest to make the pancakes on a griddle if you have one, that way you can make 6-8 all at once versus smaller batches in a frying pan. This recipe calls for blueberries but in a pinch raspberries can be a equally yummy substitute! Oh, and I usually make a double batch so that I have extras in the fridge/freezer for snacks throughout the week too.
My Aunt Marian sent me this recipe and I made a few small tweaks here and there but the credit goes to her! Credit must also be given to Liam, my little artiste, who helped me decorate the plate for this photo!
