or... "how to get omega 3s and whole grains into your kid - with a smile".
So, after several reworks of the original recipe, here is the final version. Until next time I make them.
2 1/2 cups quick cook oats
2 cups plain yogurt
2 cups milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
---------
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup almond meal
1/2 cup flax meal
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
---------
4 eggs
I put those little dashed lines in for a reason! Mix section 1 together in a large mixing bowl. (oats, milk, yoghurt, applesauce) Mix section 2 together in a different bowl.
*** dish saving tip - before you measure the liquid ingredients into section 1, use your still dry measuring cup to measure out the section 2 ingredients. Also, once you've added section 2 to section 1, use the same bowl to beat the eggs before adding them.
On a preheated griddle (or in my case, frying pan) plop down about a 1/4 cup of the batter. I always let them cook a little long because the texture makes me think they're not done. But they are - they're supposed to have an inner consistency similar to oatmeal. The kids love them that way.
I keep stacks in the fridge now (why not with those ingredients?) and one likes to pop 'em in the toaster and eat them with syrup and the other likes 'em cold with applesauce.
Well, enjoy!
