Blueberry Oatmeal Multigrain Pancakes

Hi everyone!


     I have been relaxing at the river all weekend ... thus not eating so healthy or sticking to a workout plan.  It would be nice to start my week and the bodyrock.tv May 30 Day Challenge with some healthy breakfast choices.  I just finished making some blueberry oatmeal multigrain pancakes and I am excited to share them with you.  It is a perfect way to freeze portion sizes for later.  They turn out delicious after reheating them in the toaster.

Enjoy!

Let's get started!!

.:: INGREDIENTS ::.

1 packet Trader Joe's instant oatmeal {any kind}

1 cup Trader Joe's multigrain pancake mix

1/2 cup almond milk

1 large egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/4 cup blueberries {I used freeze dried blueberries}
{OPTIONAL: I added 8 tablespoons of flaxseeds.  I guess-timated the portion per pancake based on what the portion size was per my bag of flax}

Prepare the oatmeal according to the package directions and allow it to cool to room temperature.  Set this aside.

I put the flax in a coffee grinder ... Set this aside.

yummmy!!!

Mix the egg and milk together. Set this aside.

Using a wooden spoon and a large mixing bowl combine the pancake mix with the egg/milk mixture, oil, flax, and the prepared oatmeal. 

{Stir no more than about 20 times to prevent flat pancakes.  This is also why we pre-mixed the egg and milk}.  

Now fold in the blueberries.

Oil a griddle.

Take a paper towel and spread your oil around.  You will know when the griddle is hot enough buy sprinkling a little water on the pan, if there is a sizzle it is time to cook our pancakes!!

Use a 1/4 measuring cup to drop the batter onto the hot griddle.  The pancakes will be thick and will not run. 

In about 2 minutes you will see bubbles form on the top of the cooking pancakes.  It is now time to flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

I was able to yield 12.

When the pancakes are cooled place them in plastic ziplock baggies and freeze for later. Toast them when you are ready to eat them.
