After my first of twenty servings, I began to wonder, what are these wonderful little morsels?!?! She's shown me up AGAIN!!! I had to get the recipe, and low and behold they are SOOOO easy!!! You can switch the cake mix up with different flavors too! Thanks Mel! For being an ever present reminder that I'm not the Greatest cook in the world!! ;)

IHOP Harvest Grain and Nut Pancakes

These are wonderful!!! They are healthy! I love that they are whole grain and wonderful!!! We all love them, even the children! You can make the nuts as large or fine as you like. I let the batter sit for a few minutes for the oatmeal to soak up a little moisture and thicken the batter.

Time 10 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients:
¾ C. Oats
¾ C. whole-wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ½ C. buttermilk
¼ C. vegetable oil
1 egg
¼ C. sugar
3 T. fine chopped blanched almonds
3 T. chopped walnuts
How to make it
Lightly oil a skillet or griddle, and preheat it to medium heat. Grind the oats in a blender or food processor until fine, like flour. Combine ground oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. In another bowl combine buttermilk, oil, egg and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients, add nuts and mix well with mixer. Ladle 1/3 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet and cook the pancakes for 2 to 4 minutes per side or until brown.
