Oatmeal Pancakes

This recipe accomplishes two things. First, it makes a very delicious breakfast, and second, it uses up leftover oatmeal. Eliot thought of this recipe after he made too much oatmeal (he loves oatmeal) that I wouldn't eat (I prefer pancakes!). He decided to simply convert oats into cakes! It was awesome.
Sorry there are no measurements - it was just successful guess work, but here's how we did it:

1. Have left over oatmeal. Make sure to use oatmeal that you have already dressed up**.
2. Add milk (we used vanilla soy milk) to leftover oatmeal until it becomes somewhat soupy. 
3. Stir well to make it smooth.
4. Slowly add flour to this mixture of until the mixture is thicker (as thick as pancake mix usually is). 
5. Add about a tablespoon of vegetable oil
6. Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

After your batter is well mixed, cook as you normally cook pancakes (medium heat until golden brown.) Top with vegan butter and syrup or honey(if you eat it, I do!).

They were killer! They looked great and tasted better!

** Cinnamon apple, chocolate chip, strawberry, and/or blueberry are all great oatmeal options! This time, we used apple cinnamon oatmeal to make apple cinnamon oatmeal pancakes.
