Pancakes don't keep me satisfied for long but my family loves them so I always look out for healthier, heartier versions. I got this idea from the back of my Coach's Oats oatmeal bag but didn't want to follow their recipe since this way is so much easier. This is my new favorite:
1)Use some regular complete pancake mix (I used Krusteaz big bag from Costco). I don't measure I just dump about half of the amount of batter I want to make into the bowl.
2)Before you add water add in some oatmeal. (My favorite is Coach's Oats since they have a nuttier texture--again from Costco). I still don't measure just pour some in.
3) Add water a little time and mix with a wire whisk until the consistency is what I want either for waffles (thicker) or for pancakes (a little thinner).
4) Now just have fun and make pancake shapes or just use the waffle iron.
These waffles are crispy and heartier. My family started eating them as a piece of bread without even putting syrup on them and my husband asked me what I did different because they tasted so good. I can eat some of these and actually feel satisfied for more than a half an hour.
