B loooooooves pancakes. So much so, that I was going through pancake mix REALLY fast.
Every morning she gets three big pancakes (sometimes dotted with chocolate chips) , maple syrup, some fruit, her vitamin, and some milk or juice. I love that she eats a good breakfast every day!
To save time in the morning, especially those days that I have to head in to my office (the rest of the week I work at home), I make things easier by whipping up the pancake batter the night before and keeping it in the fridge.
In the morning, I just heat up a pan, drop in some batter, and in about 3 minutes - voila! Pancakes!
But back to that mix....I created my own pancake mix using a few easy pantry staples and thought I'd share it with you guys. My secret ingredient is rolled oats. Makes them nice and hearty (but not heavy, I promise!). And this is super budget friendly.
PFM's Pancake Mix
Mix well, in an airtight container:
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup Bob's Red Mill Rolled oats, pulverized in the food processor
3 T baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 T plus 2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
To make the batter:
Take 1 cup of the pancake mix and put it in a bowl. Add 1 egg and 1 cup of milk. Mix well. Note: Sometimes I add a 1/4 tsp of vanilla (if I remember).
Now you're ready to make your pancakes!

Hope you guys enjoy these just as much as B does!
