A Grab And Go Breakfast With Staying Power

See, I just make a huge batch of pancakes or waffles on the weekend and use the leftovers throughout the week. I freeze them, with waxed paper between each layer so I can get them apart later. Then I can pull out just as many as the kids want, heat them in the micro or toaster until hot.. Thirty seconds in the micro for pancakes, or a standard toast setting for waffles to get them crispy and they're ready to eat. Homemade pancakes and waffles without having to cook on a weekday morning. It might not be *exactly* the same as a fresh cooked one, but it suits everyone involved just fine.

We add sweet potatoes or bananas sometimes. Pancakes are a great breakfast, as long as you omit the oil and sugar... which I have found are completely un-needed.

We also make extra on the weekends and freeze them! The kids love it, it's so easy and a great fast breakfast. Pop in the toaster or microwave. I just tried making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the frozen pancakes (Toasted) for a quick treat after school and before soccer practice. They loved it because it was new and different.

This is a great idea... I've been buying Eggo's for our grab and go breakfast, I started with the whole wheat ones, but then I just got whatever was on sale and I've been thinking I should just make my own. We just toast them and add a little PB & J. It would be less expensive and I can choose the ingredients if I make my own. Thanks for the recipe, I can't wait to try it!

Hey Snack Girl,

I am curious...can you use Fage 0% yogart and skim milk in your recipe?

Thanks!

Susan

Looks fabulous! Do they have a lot of texture from the oatmeal or does soaking it overnight eliminate that?

Dalai Lina

Do you pour all the batter into the pan at once, making one giant pancake?

I have a child that hates to eat anything that's been reheated, so I can't wait to try this recipe! Making them over the weekend and reheating doesn't work here, so thanks for the idea and the healthier recipe!

Rachel

Add-ins that I love are pumpkin pack and a dash of cinnamon! Thanks for the healthy recipe!

Grace

Oh, That was a dumb question I asked. I just made a batch ... that will make many pancakes!

Next time, could I use whole wheat flour in place of the white, or maybe half and half?

I have blue berries to add in the morning. I cannot wait!

Does anyone know what the weight watcher points are for the pancake?

Diana

Using the following list of ingredients at the WW site, I got 4 points per serving:

3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup(s) rolled oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 cup(s) plain fat-free yogurt
3/4 cup(s) fat-free skim milk
2 large egg(s)

Laura

Thanks for the points. I'm on the WW plan, too, but in this instance, what is considered a serving? Is it just one 4-inch pancake?

Cassie

I'm trying this recipe as waffles... Crossing my fingers it is delicious! That is our dinner tonight.

Stephanie

I tried these, just now and they were delicious!! I used the oatmeal in the packets, those are instant right? But they worked! I also mashed 1/2 of a banana and added that to the batter.

I started with 4 large pancakes (each 1/4 C batter) then just poured tablespoonfuls for mini pancakes. The batter made A LOT of pancakes. I know what I'm eating for breakfast (lunch&dinner) for the rest of the week now :)

Kathy

These pancakes are awesome!! I made them with a low sugar banana berry topping

Libby

How many pancakes is a serving 1 2 3 or 4 1/4 cup in batter or a 1/2 cup in batter??

Darlene

I was wondering if we could use Greek yogurt in the pancakes - would that change the consistency too much?
