Very Berry Oatmeal Pancakes

Sample Food

Makeover by: foodiePrints
Those long Canadian winter months often leave us dreaming about the summer. As soon as we saw this recipe, we wanted to banish the winter blues by making it over from a hot bowl of creamy oatmeal to a warm stack of creamy oatmeal blueberry pancakes. Perfect to wake up to on a cold morning!

Before Makeover

Jasmin’s Creamy Berry Oatmeal

It's hot and nutritious, but it's also oatmeal, so I don't really know how to switch it up or make it better. Help!

Preparation

What You Need

1 ½ cups (375 ml) rolled oats (not instant)
2 cups (500 ml) 10% half-and-half cream (or 5% light cream)
¾ cup (185 ml) all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tbsp (15 ml) granulated sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) brown sugar
1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
½ tsp (2 ml) salt
2 cups (500 ml) blueberries
2 tbsp (30 ml) vegetable oil
½ tsp (2 ml) pure vanilla extract
Butter for cooking



Instructions

In a bowl, combine 1 cup of cream with the rolled oats. Let stand for 15 minutes

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining cream, eggs, oil and vanilla. Add to dry ingredients along with the rolled oats mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to over mix. Gently fold the blueberries into the mixture.

In a large non-stick skillet, melt some butter over medium heat. Using a ¼ measuring cup (50 ml), pour in batter for each pancake. Cook until underside is golden (about 1 ½ to 2 minutes) and bubbles break on top.

Using a spatula, flip the pancakes until the underside is golden (about 1 to 1 ½ minutes). Serve hot with maple syrup. Sprinkle fresh blueberries on top and with fresh fruit on the side.

    These pancakes are a great original twist on an old favourite and make for an extra hearty breakfast. Just what we need to get us through our Cdn. winters but I'd make these year round . Love that pure vanilla extract is in the mixture too!
